Democrats Take Control of US Congress, Raising Prospects for Renewed Ukraine Aid
Democrats won control of both chambers of the US Congress following the November 3, 2026 midterms, giving them the power to set the agenda from January 2027. The result could allow them to advance a new direct financial and military aid package for Ukraine, using bipartisan support to overcome a potential veto from President Donald Trump. Vote counting was still underway on November 5, so the final seat distribution was not yet settled.
