Voters head to cast final ballots in US midterms seen as referendum on Trump

What's behind this

On November 3, 2026, Americans voted in the midterm elections, the first nationwide vote since the 2024 presidential race. Early voting turnout is on pace to exceed that of the previous midterms, with millions of ballots already cast and more than 51 million cast before Election Day. President Donald Trump has urged supporters in five states to vote Republican, framing congressional and governor races as a verdict on his presidency and agenda. The results will determine how much room Trump has to operate with Congress during the final two years of his term.
