Who will control Congress after the 2026 midterms?

rtbf.be (French) —

Americans vote Tuesday in midterm elections that will determine control of the House of Representatives, with Democrats seeking a majority to block President Donald Trump's agenda. Polls suggest this outcome is possible. The elections, held nearly two years after Trump's victory, renew all House seats and about one-third of the Senate. Democrats aim to win a House majority to obstruct the administration's policies. Control of Congress hinges on these races, with the Senate also partially contested. Final results will shape the remainder of Trump's term.
