LIVE: US Midterms 2026: Final Hours of Voting as Americans Cast Verdict
Americans are heading to the polls in the midterm elections, which are expected to deliver a crucial verdict on President Donald Trump’s second term in office.
All 435 seats in the House of Representatives and approximately one-third of the Senate seats are being contested. Democrats need to flip at least three House seats and four Senate seats to secure majorities in both chambers of Congress.
Trump’s approval rating has fallen close to its lowest levels, amid growing public frustration over the war with Iran and rising fuel prices. The economic impact of the conflict has emerged as a major concern for voters.
Opinion polls and nonpartisan election analysts indicate that Democrats are well-positioned to regain control of the House of Representatives. However, the battle for the Senate remains uncertain, with both parties facing a closely contested race.
Beyond Congress, voters are also deciding the outcome of three dozen gubernatorial elections, thousands of state legislative contests and several ballot measures. The results could significantly reshape the political landscape and determine the direction of Trump’s presidency for the remainder of his second term.
