Two articles offer differing perspectives on the 2026 midterm elections. The Guardian outlines the specific legislative and investigative priorities House and Senate Democrats intend to pursue if they regain control of Congress, including probes into the Trump family's business dealings, IRS settlements, and defense contracts. Conversely, the Washington Examiner analyzes recent polling trends, suggesting that current data may be overestimating Democratic support based on historical polling misses in 2018, 2020, and 2024, particularly in the Midwest and Northeast.
