There’s a silver lining from the elections for Senate Democrats, despite losing their majority.
Republican Senate hopefuls underperformed the top of the ticket in several battleground states by tens of thousands of votes, giving way to President-elect Donald Trump capturing key victories where voters chose to stick with Democratic senators.
The ticket-splitting has Democrats already eyeing the 2026 midterms, when a backlash to the incumbent administration and the lack of Trump’s coattails could bode well for the majority swinging back to Democrats.
“When this process of counting the votes concludes, Democrats will have won races in multiple states carried by Trump and successfully limited the GOP’s potential gains on their historically favorable map,” said Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee (DSCC) Communications Director David Bergstein.
