Democrats capitalized on voter anger over Trump and affordability, flipping seats in deep-red and major battleground states alike.

President Donald Trump told voters to pretend he was on the ballot in this year’s midterm elections.

They did. And they resoundingly rejected both his policies and his Republican Party.

Democrats have captured full control of Congress, NBC News projects, with voters delivering a forceful repudiation of Trump’s agenda, coupled with a clear-cut message that Congress has not done enough to provide checks on his administration and needs to do more to address affordability and corruption.

    I think the danger is that Democrats don’t think this is an endorsement of socialist democratic platform and aren’t seen to do enough in the next two years, like what happened between 2021 and 2025. If they understep they will get slapped back next election.
