[598] Democrat Landslide (03 Nov 2026)

On 3 November 2026, two years into Donald Trump’s second term, America voted in the midterm elections. Every seat in the House of Representatives and 35 seats in the Senate were up for grabs, and the result went heavily against the Republicans. Their trifecta, control of the White House, the House and the Senate at the same time, came to an end. This piece documents the reaction across the US media in the hours after the results came in, with the headlines painted as they ran: “Democrat Landslide”, “America punishes Trump’s party”, “Stunning rebuke to Trump”, “G.O.P. trifecta ends”, “Texas ‘Earthquake’” and “Beginning of end of Trump era”.
