Update to UPDATE: Democrat flips South Carolina Senate seat in 2026 midterms upset
Based on reporting by Cointelegraph; not yet independently confirmed.
Democrats reportedly swept the 2026 US midterm elections by flipping the House and Senate, following earlier coverage of live results and a single seat flip.
The Democratic Party has won control of both the House of Representatives and the Senate in the 2026 midterm elections held on November 4, 2026, according to Cointelegraph. The sweep represents a major shift from earlier coverage, which initially tracked live race results alongside a single Senate seat flip in South Carolina.
The election outcome shapes the future legislative environment for crypto-backed candidates, Cointelegraph reported. The newly secured Democratic majorities in both congressional chambers will impact the framework for digital asset regulation in the United States.
