US midterms election 2026 live: What they mean for crypto

Americans headed to the polls Tuesday for the 2026 midterm elections, with all 435 seats in the US House of Representatives and 35 Senate seats up for grabs in a vote that could reshape Congress and determine President Donald Trump’s ability to advance his legislative agenda during the final two years of his term.

More than 57 million Americans had cast ballots as of Monday, with early voting surpassing 2022 levels in several closely watched states, according to the Associated Press.

Republicans currently control both chambers of Congress, holding 53 Senate seats to 45 Democrats and two independents who caucus with them, along with a narrow advantage in the House. Democrats need a net gain of four Senate seats and three House seats to take control of the respective chambers.
