Americans Vote in Midterms as Trump Faces Congressional Test
More than 57 million Americans voted early as Democrats target a House takeover and Republicans try to hold the Senate, analysts said.
- Americans cast ballots on Tuesday in midterm elections for all 435 House of Representatives and 35 Senate seats, with Decision Desk HQ projecting Democrats 241–194 in the House and a narrower 52–48 Senate majority.
- Voters head to the polls amid rising inflation and fuel prices linked to the war in Iran, framing this election as a referendum on President Donald Trump's second term and his administration's policies.
- Record-Breaking early voting saw more than 57 million ballots cast by Monday, while the Supreme Court rejected an emergency Trump administration bid to block California from counting 20,000 mail-in ballots.
- Democrats need a net gain of three House seats and four Senate seats to control Congress, which would empower them to investigate Trump's administration and block his judicial appointments.
- Trump has threatened to become 'Mr. Veto' if Republicans lose control of both houses, signaling potential legislative gridlock and increased reliance on executive orders through his remaining term.
