US Midterm Elections 2026: Control of Congress and Implications for Trump Presidency
The 2026 US midterm elections, held on November 3, will determine control of the House and Senate amid economic concerns like inflation and the ongoing Iran conflict. While President Donald Trump is not on the ballot, the election is widely viewed as a referendum on his presidency and policies. Democrats aim to gain seats to challenge Republican majorities, potentially influencing Trump's final term and the 2028 presidential race. Voter turnout, demographic shifts, and legal challenges may also impact results.
