Queues, smiles and Uncle Sam: The US midterms in pictures

Americans are electing members of Congress, which is made up of the House of Representatives and the Senate. All 435 House seats are up for election. In the Senate, only 35 of 100 seats are being contested because senators serve six-year terms. This results tracker shows both the races being decided now and the 65 seats that are not up for election this year - 34 held by Democrats and 31 by Republicans. Millions of Americans are voting in the 2026 midterm elections, which will determine control of Congress for the final two years of Donald Trump's presidency.
