Democrats are preparing to retake the majority in both the House of Representatives and the Senate, and the party is divided over who should lead, NPR reported on November 13, 2026.
A majority means a party holds more seats than the other party in a chamber. The House and the Senate are the two chambers of Congress, the national lawmaking body in Washington.
According to NPR, Democrats say they have a mandate to deliver change. The network's report is credited to Elena Moore and was prepared for its All Things Considered program.
The leadership question is the main point of disagreement inside the party as it moves toward taking back control of both chambers.
