Democrats win House majority with Trump approval at historic low
Democrats won control of the House in the 2026 midterm elections, CBS News projects, with victories in battleground districts across the country.
What the coverage shows
All three outlets treat the midterms as a Democratic win, but they frame the story differently. CBS News is the only one to state the House majority directly in its headline and extract, while ABC News shifts to what Democrats may do next after the wins. The Atlantic is alone in posing the results as a question about whether Democrats won or Trump lost, though its extract says voters sent one clear message.
