Americans Vote in Midterms as Trump Faces Congressional Test
- Americans vote today, November 3, 2026, in midterm elections serving as a referendum on President Donald Trump's second term, with Democrats seeking to wrest control of the House of Representatives from Republicans.
- Widespread voter frustration over inflation and rising fuel costs has fueled Democratic momentum, as midterm elections historically favor the opposition party when approval ratings plummet; Trump's approval stands at 36%, a second-term low.
- Record-Breaking early participation saw over 57 million ballots cast before Election Day, while the Supreme Court rejected an administration bid on Monday to block 20,000 California mail-in ballots the Trump administration alleged were cast by noncitizens.
- Should Democrats secure the House, they would gain investigative authority over Trump's administration; a Senate majority would allow them to block his judicial appointments, including potential Supreme Court vacancies.
- Both parties view these results as a rehearsal for the 2028 presidential race, where they will settle on nominees as Republicans navigate a post-Trump political landscape following this referendum.
