Democrats Projected to Take Senate Control
Democrats are projected to take control of the Senate after Josh Turek was projected to win Iowa’s seat. The result would give the party a 51-member majority, according to the reported count so far.
The Senate shift would put Democrats in control of both chambers of Congress. That change could affect the final two years of President Donald Trump’s presidency, as control of the chambers changes hands.
President Trump spoke with CBS News’ Weijia Jiang, who shared key takeaways from their conversation. The available details do not specify what those takeaways were or how the new Senate majority might shape particular decisions or proposals. For now, the projection establishes a Democratic Senate majority and unified control of the two chambers, with broader effects on Trump’s remaining presidency still to come.
Democrats’ Senate Win Puts a Check on Trump
Democrats are projected to win the Senate, adding control of the chamber to their hold on the House. Josh Turek’s projected victory in Iowa would bring the Senate majority to 51 members, giving voters’ elected representatives in both chambers a new role in shaping the closing two years of Donald Trump’s presidency.
That shift matters because control of Congress can affect how the president’s final years unfold. The projection points to a change in the balance of power, with Democrats in charge of both chambers rather than the Senate remaining outside their control.
Trump spoke with CBS News’ Weijia Jiang, who shared key takeaways from the conversation.

Democratic Senate Takeover Puts Trump’s Final Years at Stake
Democrats are projected to take the Senate after Josh Turek’s expected win in Iowa, bringing their majority to 51. Combined with their control of the House, the result gives the party control of both chambers as Donald Trump enters the final two years of his presidency.
The change places Democrats in a stronger position to shape what happens in Congress during that period. The projection marks a consequential shift in control, even though the available details do not identify specific proposals or decisions that will be affected.
