2026 Midterms: Democrats 85¢ for House, Texas Turning Purple

The 2026 midterm landscape is crystallizing: Democrats are heavy favorites to retake the House at 85¢, but the Senate remains a genuine toss-up at 52-49. The most striking movement is Texas — Democrat for Governor jumped 9¢ to 17¢, and the Texas Senate race is 44¢ D / 55¢ R. Anti-tariff sentiment could reshape traditionally safe Republican territory. Ken Paxton leads the TX GOP Senate primary at 65¢.
