Party hopes disapproval with Trump’s presidency gives them advantage as Republicans defend slim majority
Republicans are defending their majority in the US Senate against resurgent Democrats, who believe voters’ dissatisfaction with Donald Trump will put them back in control of Congress’s upper chamber.
The president’s opponents notched an early win, with the Associated Press calling Georgia’s Senate race for Jon Ossoff, the incumbent who appears to have easily won a second term in a state that voted for Trump in 2024. His victory underscored the degree to which Republicans’ political fortunes appear to have shifted since Trump returned to the White House, but many contested races remain uncalled.
