In the US congressional midterm elections, Democrats have taken seats in the Senate from North and South Carolina from the Republicans. Additionally, according to forecasts, they are regaining their majority in the House of Representatives.

Currently, Republicans have 53 seats in the Senate versus 47 for the Democrats. To gain a majority, Democrats need to take four seats outright and not lose any of their own. They have already completed half of this journey.
