November 5, 2026 — Democrats have won control of both chambers of the US Congress in a sweeping midterm election victory, ending unified Republican control of Washington.

The result follows voter frustration over living costs, inflation and the ongoing war with Iran.

President Donald Trump now faces a Democratic-controlled Congress capable of challenging his legislative agenda, launching investigations and increasing oversight of his administration.

The political shift could reshape US trade, energy and foreign policy debates, with implications for Thailand and other Asian economies.

The immediate question is how the White House and the incoming Congress will navigate the next two years of divided government.
