Trump’s agenda meets the ballot box as states vote on abortion, redistricting and voter ID mandates
Voters are weighing 145 ballot questions that could reshape abortion access, congressional maps and voter ID rules, with Trump-backed priorities under review.
- On Tuesday, November 3, 2026, voters participated in consequential midterm elections widely viewed as a referendum on President Donald Trump's presidency, deciding 145 proposed laws and constitutional amendments across multiple states.
- Trump's final two years faced challenges amid a prolonged war in Iran, rising inflation, and deep societal divisions. Voters weighed ballot measures testing priorities including election rules, immigration cooperation, and abortion access.
- Campaigns attracted more than $11.9 billion in spending fueled by advertising and Trump-affiliated groups. Republicans and Democrats fought to control the House of Representatives and the Senate, with 435 seats and 35 seats respectively at stake.
- Democrats aimed to capture a majority in both chambers to curtail the president's legislative agenda. A Democratic victory would grant the opposition power to launch investigations and possibly initiate impeachment trials.
- Results will shape Trump's final two years, impacting personnel, policy, and relations with allies. Regardless of outcome, the president retains authority to govern through executive orders, continuing the administration's national agenda.
