American voters will head to the polls on Tuesday, November 3, for the 2026 US midterm elections. All 435 seats in the House of Representatives are on the ballot, while voters in 35 states will choose senators and 36 will choose governors. In addition to the partial renewal of Congress, some voters will also elect local representatives and vote on referendums.
Control of Congress will likely be decided by 11 key Senate and 42 House races, with particular attention on results from Texas, Georgia, Ohio, and Minnesota. Republicans and Democrats nationwide are making their final pitches to voters as the country awaits the counting of votes to determine the majority.
Although Donald Trump is not on the ballot, polls suggest voters are focused on affordability concerns during his current term, as well as the economy, cost of living, and immigration. The results will determine whether Democrats can secure historic gains and gain the power to challenge Trump’s administration and change the trajectory of the country.
