🚨 Democrats Secure Control of US Congress in Midterm Elections
Democrats have won both the House and the Senate in the 2026 midterm elections. This shift gives the party full control over legislative committees starting in January 2027, allowing them to oversee President Donald Trump’s administration.
The result is expected to significantly reshape the outlook for crypto legislation. Democratic committee leaders will now gain more influence over which digital asset bills advance and which industry activities face federal investigation.
New committee chairs will have the power to issue subpoenas and scrutinize Trump-linked digital asset businesses. Prediction markets like Polymarket and Kalshi had correctly anticipated this outcome, placing the probability of a Democratic sweep at 75% before the results.
