2026 US Midterm Elections to Decide Congressional Control and Legislative Balance
The 2026 US midterm elections on November 3 will determine control of Congress, including all 435 House seats and about one-third of the Senate. These elections influence President Donald Trump's ability to pass legislation during his second term. Voters will also decide 36 governorships and numerous state offices. The House and Senate differ in representation, terms, and powers, with the midterms shaping the balance of power in Washington and state governments. Election security measures are being enhanced to protect against foreign interference.
