Decision 2026: Democrats Win Control of House and Senate
Voters from coast-to-coast deliver a once-in-a-generation realignment in the nation’s capital with Democrats seizing overwhelming control of Congress in a shocking loss for President Donald Trump and the GOP. NBC’s Ryan Nobles reports for TODAY.
CBS News
What the coverage shows
Both outlets frame the Nebraska race as a Republican hold, with CBS and NBC agreeing that Pete Ricketts defeated independent Dan Osborn in a competitive contest. The difference is in emphasis: NBC foregrounds that Ricketts “fends off” Osborn in a “traditionally red state,” while CBS’s Nebraska item presents the result more directly as a projected win; CBS’s other headline is about Minnesota and appears to be a separate race, not part of the Nebraska coverage.
