The United States will hold its 2026 Midterm elections on Tuesday, November 3, with voters set to decide the composition of Congress and several state governments. The elections will determine which political party controls the US House of Representatives and Senate for the next two years, influencing the legislative agenda during the second half of President Donald Trump's term.
Unlike presidential elections, midterm polls do not determine who occupies the White House. Instead, they are held halfway through a president's four-year term and allow voters to elect congressional representatives, governors and other state and local officials.
