Senate Races to Watch in the 2026 Midterm Election
- On November 3, Americans will vote in midterm elections determining if President Donald Trump's Republicans retain control of Congress or face Democratic majorities, with outcomes uncertain due to high living costs and polling errors.
- Republicans currently hold a 53-47 Senate majority, meaning Democrats need a net gain of four seats to flip the chamber in battlegrounds including Alaska, Iowa, North Carolina, Ohio, and Texas.
- Trump's trade war with Canada has become a pivotal campaign issue in Michigan, where economies are deeply integrated, prompting Republican Senate candidate Mike Rogers to distance himself from the president's anti-Canada rhetoric.
- Democrats need a net gain of three seats to capture the 435-member House of Representatives, with control potentially decided by competitive districts like New York's 17th, won by Kamala Harris in 2024.
- These elections will decide whether President Trump can advance his governing agenda for the remainder of his term or if Democrats will successfully restrain his use of executive power.
