Midterm Elections Near an End as Voters Weigh in on Trump’s Second Term
Polls favor Democrats to flip the House as Republicans defend most competitive Senate seats and Trump’s approval remains near historic lows.
- On Tuesday, November 3, 2026, American voters decided control of Congress in midterm elections serving as a referendum on President Donald Trump's second term.
- Voters frustrated by high prices and the war with Iran delivered their verdict amid economic dissatisfaction; only 25% of U.S. adults approve of Trump's economic handling, while about 7 in 10 say the country is heading in the wrong direction.
- Campaigns poured more than $850 million into advertising for the 435 House and 35 Senate seats at stake, with more than 59 million people having cast ballots before Tuesday.
- Democratic control of either chamber would enable investigations into Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and tech titan Elon Musk, while the Senate could block Trump's appointments including possible Supreme Court nominees.
- Beyond Washington, 36 states are electing governors as Democrats seek to capture a majority of statehouses for the first time in two decades, potentially reshaping the broader political landscape.
