Voters across the United States are heading to the polls on Tuesday, November 3, 2026, for the midterm elections, France 24 reported. Democrats are widely projected to retake control of the House of Representatives, while control of the Senate remains uncertain, according to France 24. [1][2]

France 24 reported that Democrats need to gain three seats in the House of Representatives and four seats in the Senate to overtake Republicans. [1]

All 435 seats in the U.S. House of Representatives and 35 of the 100 seats in the U.S. Senate are being contested to determine the 120th United States Congress. The midterm elections are taking place during the second term of Republican President Donald Trump, and voters are also deciding 39 state and territorial gubernatorial elections along with attorney general and local races. [2]

As FTMQ News reported earlier, Republicans face tough races to maintain control of Congress, following nationwide rallies in October that urged Americans to vote early ahead of the November 3 election. [4]
