Story summary

On November 3, 2026, Americans voted in the midterm elections determining control of Congress for the final two years of President Donald Trump’s second term. These elections saw all 435 House seats and 35 of the 100 Senate seats up for grabs. Polling suggested a potentially disastrous outcome for Republicans, with Democrats likely to regain majority in the House and possibly in the Senate as well. Key issues included election integrity, extremism, and policy priorities like reinstating parts of the Affordable Care Act. The elections were marked by significant campaign twists, including the unexpected death of Republican Senator Lindsey Graham and questions about operatives' involvement in various races.
