More than 57 million Americans have already voted as Democrats are projected to gain ground in the House while the Senate remains uncertain.
- Americans are voting today, November 3, 2026, in midterm elections that will decide control of Congress. All 435 House seats and 35 Senate seats are at stake, with record early voting of more than 57 million ballots potentially delaying final results.

- A Democratic House majority could stall Trump's legislative agenda and trigger sweeping investigations of his administration, analysts say. A Senate loss would also 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 just three times: 1946, 1994, and 2006. This historical rarity underscores the significant challenge Democrats face in securing simultaneous majorities.
