The 2026 US midterms could determine how much of Donald Trump’s agenda can actually move through Congress. Trump would remain president even if Republicans lose seats, but control of the House or Senate could make it harder for his administration to pass legislation, fund priorities and advance its broader political programme. History shows why midterms matter. In 1866, Republicans strengthened Congress against Andrew Johnson. In 1934, voters expanded Franklin Roosevelt’s power. The 1994 Republican Revolution and 2010 Tea Party surge reshaped Washington for years. Now, with Republicans controlling Congress, 2026 could become a crucial test of Trump's political power and what comes after it.
