2026 US Midterm Elections to Determine Congressional Control and Policy Direction
The 2026 US midterm elections on November 3 will decide control of all 435 House seats and 35 Senate seats, shaping President Trump's final two years. Republicans currently hold narrow majorities, but Democrats aim to gain seats to retake one or both chambers. Outcomes could influence key policies on taxes, trade, immigration, and national security, affecting business uncertainty and legislative agendas. While a Republican Congress may ease Trump's priorities, a divided or Democratic-controlled Congress could increase oversight and slow policy changes.
