美國民主黨在三日投票的期中選舉一舉奪回國會參眾兩院的主控權,在卅六州州長選舉中也大有斬獲,至少五州州政府變天。華盛頓郵報指出,這是民主黨自一九七四年的水門案後,時隔五十二年再以「藍潮」贏得海嘯式勝利。民主黨大勝被視為選民以選票懲罰發動伊朗戰爭的共和黨總統川普,導致任期還剩兩年的川普提前跛腳。

儘管仍有部分選區還沒開完票,選前在國會參眾兩院屈居少數黨的民主黨,在四三五席全部改選的眾議院至少拿下過半數的二二八席,以及在全院一百席但僅改選卅五席的參議院翻轉七席,選後在參院總計控制過半數的五十四席。州長選舉方面,民主黨拿下廿二州,包括在俄亥俄州、喬治亞州、愛荷華州、內華達州與德州變天,尚未開完票的堪薩斯州與阿拉斯加州也是民主黨人領先。

民主黨的驚人勝績,包括翻轉自一九九四年來從未贏得州級選舉勝利的德州,民主黨候選人在此以超過十個百分點差距拿下德州聯邦參議員與德州州長。民主黨也自一九九八年以來,首度拿下紅州南卡羅來納州的聯邦參議員。

面對共和黨遭受自一九七四年期中選舉以來的最嚴重政治懲罰,選前致力輔選、甚至呼籲選民假裝他也在選票上的川普,三日晚間受訪時坦承伊戰是共和黨敗選原因之一,但不後悔對伊朗發動戰爭,並稱最大政治包袱是被伊戰推高的油價。他說:「我不認為這算是我的失敗,我不在選票上」。

華郵指出,本次大選兩大陣營共計投入超過一〇四億美元在各式廣告與宣傳,成為美國史上最昂貴的一次選舉。

Not only did Texas make an upset comeback, Democrats also won the majority of governorships in the United States for the first time in 20 years.

In the gubernatorial race in the U.S. midterm elections, the Democratic Party captured a number of states where Republicans had long been in power due to voter dissatisfaction, winning a majority of U.S. gubernatorial seats for the first time in 20 years. Texas Democratic state Rep. Hinojosa unexpectedly defeated Republican Governor Abbott who was seeking his fourth term, ending the Republican Party's long-term rule in Texas since 1995 and becoming the first Latina female governor of Texas. Portos, the former mayor of Atlanta, Georgia, will become the first African-American female governor in the United States after defeating Republican entrepreneur Jackson. Ohio Democratic candidate Acton defeated Trump-backed Ramaswamy, allowing the Democratic Party to win the gubernatorial election again after 20 years; Iowa Democratic candidate Sander also defeated Republican opponent Rahn. Democrats flipped the Republican governor's seat in Nevada. 36 of the 50 states in the United States have re-elected governors. The Democratic Party has won 22 states and the Republican Party 12 states. Alaska and Kansas have not yet been determined. Including states that have not yet been re-elected, the Democratic Party is confirmed to hold 28 governor's seats and the Republican Party 20 seats. The last time the Democratic Party won a majority of governorships in the United States in an election was in 2006. The Associated Press pointed out that the number of states with fierce competition in this gubernatorial race was unexpected, reflecting Trump's sluggish support that is dragging down the Republican Party. The Democratic Party's control of more state governments may also enable more states to resist or ignore Trump's policy agenda in the remaining two years of his term, which may play an important role in the 2028 presidential election.

Democrats regain control of Senate, severely damaging Trump

In the U.S. Senate race in the midterm elections, the Democratic Party flipped seven of the 35 seats that had been re-elected. After the election, the Democratic Party held 54 seats and won a majority in the Senate. The Democratic Party defeated Republican candidates backed by Trump in Texas, Kansas, South Carolina, North Carolina and other states, ending years of electoral drought in some conservative states. Trump visited about 24 states before the election to support the election, but he still failed to stop the Democratic Party's "blue wave".
