Democrats take both chambers; Ossoff wins a second term in Georgia

Saudi Gazette reports that Democrats won control of both houses of Congress in the 2026 midterms, associating the wider national swing with voter frustration over the Iran war and cost-of-living concerns. Separately, Asharq News reports that Jon Ossoff defeated Republican Mike Collins to win a second term in Georgia. Ossoff was the only Democratic senator seeking reelection in a state Trump carried in 2024, making his seat important to the party’s effort to gain Senate control; the national voter concerns Saudi Gazette described do not establish why Georgia voters chose him.
