See the Nov. 3, 1926, front page: Republicans lose seven seats and control of Senate

Historical records from November 3, 1926, show Republicans lost seven seats and control of the Senate, while three men died in a Tombs prison fight. Looking forward, the 2026 US midterm elections will decide if President Donald Trump and Republicans maintain control of Congress. These elections involve 435 House seats and 35 Senate seats, determining whether Democrats gain the power to challenge the presidential agenda during the final two years of the term.
