Democrats win House and Senate majorities; some races still uncalled
Democrats have won sizable majorities in the House and Senate in the 2026 midterms, CBS News reports, but several races are still uncalled, so final margins are unknown.
Democrats won sizable majorities in both the House and the Senate in the 2026 midterm elections, according to CBS News. The exact margins are not yet known because some races have not been projected.
NPR describes the situation more cautiously. It says Democrats are poised to hold a strong majority in the next Congress and that final numbers are still being determined.
NPR says the remaining races are those awaiting a call from the Associated Press. Both outlets published running lists of the uncalled House and Senate contests. The reports excerpted here do not name the races or give seat counts.
