The 2026 US midterm elections will put every seat in the House of Representatives and roughly one-third of the Senate before voters, determining the composition of Congress during the second half of President Donald Trump’s four-year term.
The midterms are general elections held near the midpoint of a president’s term, on the Tuesday after the first Monday in November. At the federal level, the biggest contests are for the House and Senate, although voters will also choose officials at state and local levels.
