PROVIDENCE, R.I. — U.S. Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse, D-R.I., said in a statement issued from Providence on Wednesday that Democrats' wins in the Senate and the House of Representatives marked "a new morning in America."

Whitehouse's office said Democrats had won control of both chambers in what it called "a massive victory for the American people." The office titled the statement as a response to the "MAGA wipeout of 2026."

"People from every corner of this great country chose to give Democrats the chance to bring down costs and put a check on this administration's corruption," Whitehouse said. "We will not let them down."

Whitehouse argued that the results reflected voters' rejection of the administration and its allies. He said Americans do not want "a president engorging himself by looting taxpayers," a Supreme Court "captured by the billionaire class, selling out our democracy," or "a rogue Justice Department and masked goons terrorizing innocent Americans."

"We are ready for the hard work ahead to fix what's badly broken and set a course for a new, brighter future for the country," he said.

The statement did not include a response from Republicans, the White House or the Justice Department.
