El resumen
NPR Politics reported that President Donald Trump made the 2026 midterms a referendum on his own record, but voters rejected his assessment of the economy amid concerns over inflation and a broader economic undertow.[3][4] BBC World noted that Democrats secured upset victories in traditionally safe Republican strongholds like Texas, Kansas, and South Carolina, capturing both the House of Representatives and the Senate.[5][6] According to DW English, analysts expect complete political gridlock in Washington as Trump promises to act as "Mr Veto" against any Democratic initiatives, while lacking a filibuster-proof majority to pass his own agenda.[7] Republicans vented intense frustration over the outcome, with party operatives and strategists interviewed by BBC World blaming Trump's low job approval ratings, unpopular policies, and handling of issues such as tariffs, the Iran conflict, and immigration.[8][9] Bill Miller, a top Republican lobbyist in Texas, characterized the result to BBC World as a total rejection of the president and a disaster of the first magnitude.[10] The shift in congressional control also threatens to stall aggressive growth in artificial intelligence and data centers, as public pushback and potential regulatory hurdles loom over big tech firms.[11] NPR Politics noted that a few legislative races remain uncalled while election officials continue counting ballots to determine the final margins across every state.[12]
