US Midterm Elections 2026: Congressional Control and Global Implications
The 2026 US midterm elections on November 3 will decide control of all 435 House seats and 35 Senate seats, influencing President Donald Trump's remaining term and US domestic and foreign policies. Republicans currently hold narrow majorities, but Democrats are favored to gain ground, potentially affecting trade, immigration, AI regulation, and US-India relations. While a Democratic win could increase congressional oversight and legislative challenges for Trump, he retains significant executive powers. The elections also carry global economic and geopolitical implications, including impacts on markets, energy prices, and international partnerships.
