US midterm elections 2026 : The 2026 US midterm elections will shape US president Donald Trump’s remaining tenure and the 2028 presidential cycle, with Democrats projected to take the House of Representatives, while the Senate is a closer call.
A separate forecast from Cornell political scientists gives Democrats an 8-in-10 chance of securing a majority in the House. The forecast anticipates Democrats winning approximately 226 seats to Republicans’ 209, although simulations show as few as 206 Democratic seats or as many as 258 are statistical possibilities.
