Voters across the United States went to the polls on Tuesday, 3 November 2026, in midterm elections that will decide control of the House and Senate, according to live coverage from The Hindu, AP News, NBC News and The Guardian. President Donald Trump said the results would be "better than you think," The Hindu reported in its live updates.
Republicans are hoping to keep their grip on Congress as the ballots are counted, AP News reported in its live coverage. Axios described the start of election night as Trump operating in "battle mode."
The outcome of the congressional races is the central question of the night, with control of both chambers at stake. The Guardian is carrying live results from Senate, House and governor contests across all 50 states.
The Hindu's live blog combined its own reporting with updates from several US outlets covering the vote as polling took place.
With counting under way, attention now turns to the race calls in the House and Senate and whether Republicans can hold their majority in Congress.
