Americans Vote in Midterms as Control of Congress Hangs in Balance
Early voting and absentee ballots pushed turnout to about 23% before Election Day, the secretary of the state’s office said.
- Americans are voting on Tuesday, November 3, 2026, in midterm elections that will determine control of Congress, with all 435 House seats and 35 Senate seats at stake.
- President Donald Trump campaigned intensively in recent weeks to frame the election as a referendum on his presidency, while Republicans defend slim majorities in both chambers.
- Record early voting exceeded 57 million ballots cast nationwide. On Monday, U.S. District Judge James Boasberg rejected the Trump administration's attempt to block 20,000 California mail-in ballots, ruling the federal noncitizen list was flawed.
- A Democratic House majority could stall Trump's legislative agenda and trigger sweeping investigations of his administration. Senate control loss would threaten his ability to appoint Supreme Court justices and senior officials.
- Since World War II, the House and Senate have flipped from one party to another in the same midterm only three times: 1946, 1994, and 2006. This historical rarity underscores the challenge Democrats face.
