Congressional candidates delivered their final pitches to voters on Monday, November 2, 2026, on the eve of the US Midterm Elections. The elections on Tuesday, November 3, 2026, will decide control of all 435 seats in the House of Representatives and 35 seats in the 100-member Senate, determining whether President Donald Trump will face divided government during his remaining two years in office. Ahead of Election Day, early voting reached a record 57 million votes, comfortably surpassing the 45 million recorded during the 2022 midterms.

Legal battles erupted across multiple states on election eve. In a major setback for the administration, the US Supreme Court rejected an emergency request by the Trump administration to halt the counting of more than 20,000 mail-in ballots in California, while a federal judge ruled that questionable voter lists could not be segregated. Concurrently, in Alaska, a federal judge dismissed a challenge filed by Republican Senator Dan Sullivan seeking to freeze election certification over concerns regarding a third-party independent candidate with a nearly identical name.
