Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee Chair Kirsten Gillibrand (D-NY) has predicted that Democrats will win the Senate, not just the House, in November. She argues that Republicans will be stymied by anti-Trump sentiment and decreased candidate recruitment in key races. Despite mixed results in midterms, the party in control of the House has historically lost or lost seats in all but two elections since 1938. However, she believes Democrats have a chance of winning the four seats needed to win in the Senate. She also predicts backlash in the 2026 midterms due to tariffs and the war in Iran, and larger affordability concerns.
