On Nov. 3, 2026, Americans will go to the polls for midterm elections that will strongly impact the remainder of President Donald Trump's second term. In play are 435 districts in the U.S. House of Representatives as well as 33 Senate seats. Republicans seek to maintain their majorities in both House and Senate, while Democrats look to break the GOP's hold and mount legislative resistance to the Trump administration. Key races are shaping up in the run-up to November, with some contests potentially defining the future of the U.S. political landscape across both parties. Verity’s editorial team is highlighting these key races — showing where the candidates stand and considering the impacts on U.S. politics in the months ahead and beyond.
