US midterms: what the November 3 congressional vote decides

Event date: 2026-11-03.

The United States holds midterm elections on November 3. All 435 House seats and part of the Senate are contested. Congressional elections determine which party holds a majority in each chamber for the next two years.

This is a preview, without election results. The October 26 Reuters video is pre-election analysis, rather than live vote counting.
