Midterm Elections Coming to a Close as Voters Pass Judgment on Trump's Second Term
Decision Desk HQ forecasts Democrats could win 241 House seats and a 52-48 Senate majority as more than 57 million voters already cast ballots.
- Voters are heading to polls on Tuesday to decide control of Congress, with midterm elections serving as a referendum on President Donald Trump's second term. All 435 House seats and 35 Senate seats are at stake.
- The 2026 elections rank as the most expensive in history, with campaigns attracting more than $11 billion in advertising. Republican committees focused 88.1% of ad spending on districts Trump won in 2024, reflecting party confidence in those regions.
- Only 35% of U.S. adults approve of Trump's performance, while about 7 in 10 say the country is heading in the wrong direction. More than 57 million Americans cast ballots early, signaling intense voter participation.
- Democrats need three House gains and four Senate seats to secure majorities and block Trump's legislative agenda. House Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries outlined a 100-day agenda focused on lowering costs and holding the administration accountable.
- The battlefield has extended into conservative states like Kansas, Texas, and Iowa, where tight margins could tip control of the Senate. Outcomes in these regions will define Trump's final two years and determine whether the Senate becomes a backstop for the White House.
