Election Day for the 2026 US midterms got underway on November 3 after a surge in early voting, with control of Congress and numerous Senate and governor races at stake. PBS NewsHour, NPR and BBC US & Canada published live results pages, takeaways and previews covering races including Texas, Ohio, Georgia, Maine, North Carolina and Michigan. PBS NewsHour reported that Trump has spent months trying to use the power of the presidency to influence this year's elections, and that he has sown doubt about the results. Analysts said polling and history suggested a difficult night for Republicans, though the political map and Republican redistricting could limit Democratic gains.
