US midterms 2026: America votes on Tuesday for control of Congress. What to watch, and when results come in
Americans vote on Tuesday, 3 November, in midterm elections that will decide control of Congress for the last two years of Donald Trump's term. All 435 House seats, 35 Senate seats and 36 governorships are on the ballot, along with 145 statewide ballot measures. Democrats need a net gain of four seats in both chambers to overturn the Republican majorities of 218-214 in the House and 53-47 in the Senate, Reuters notes. They are widely expected to win the House, while the Senate is close. More than 54 million people had already voted early. This article will be updated with results as they come in.
