The United States heads into the November 3, 2026 midterm elections, and the stakes extend far beyond the ballot box. With control of Congress on the line, the results could shape the next phase of President Donald Trump’s presidency and determine how much room his administration has to pursue its agenda.Will Republicans retain control of the House of Representatives and the Senate? Can Democrats make gains and challenge the Republican hold on Congress? And what could a divided Congress mean for Trump’s domestic and foreign policy priorities?Unlike a presidential election, the US midterms do not decide who occupies the White House. Voters are choosing members of Congress halfway through the president’s four-year term. That makes the election an important test of the political climate and the balance of power in Washington. n18oc_world CNN-News18 is your trusted source for breaking news, updates, and in-depth analysis from around the world.
