By the Numbers

435 House seats35 Senate seats

In the United States, the 2026 midterm elections were held on Tuesday, November 3. Millions of voters cast ballots for all 435 seats in the House of Representatives and 35 seats in the Senate. As vote counting continues, results are coming in from various states where both parties are leading. The race between Democrats and Republicans is tight enough to determine which party will control Congress. Results in key states will shape the legislative balance for the remaining two years of President Donald Trump's term. Neither party has yet secured a clear majority. Throughout election night both sides claimed victory, but official final results have not yet been released. Once vote counting is complete, control of Congress will become clear, and this will directly affect U.S. domestic and foreign policy.
