Americans Vote in Midterms as Trump Faces Congressional Test
More than 57 million Americans had already voted early as Democrats target gains of three House seats and four Senate seats, analysts said.
- 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.
