The 2026 United States midterm elections are scheduled to take place largely on November 3, 2026, during the second term of President Donald Trump. Midterm elections occur near the midpoint of a president’s four-year term.

Voters are scheduled to choose all 435 members of the House of Representatives and 35 of the Senate’s 100 members. The elections also include gubernatorial contests in 39 states and territories, as well as other state and local races. The congressional results will determine the membership of the 120th United States Congress.

Inflation and the cost of living have been reported as major concerns for voters ahead of the elections. The results may affect which party controls Congress.
