The supplied article, attributed to BBC News, reports that Democrats took control of the Senate and House in the US 2026 midterm elections. It describes Senate gains in North Carolina, South Carolina, Kansas, Texas, Iowa, Ohio and Maine, alongside a Democratic hold in Michigan. The report says Alaska remained unresolved and Mississippi was closely contested.

The article attributes the House projection to CBS News and says counting continued. It also reports Democratic victories in three redrawn Florida districts. A voter poll cited in the coverage identifies the economy as the leading national concern, followed by democracy.

The Florida results are presented as a setback for Republican redistricting efforts: the article says two districts Democrats retained had been reshaped to include majorities of 2024 Trump voters. However, the supplied text provides neither a publication date nor detailed poll methodology, limiting independent assessment of its timing and voter findings.
