US Senate Elections Result 2026 Live: Trump acknowledges Iran war's impact on Midterm loss; says it was something 'he had to do'
Synopsis
US Midterm Election Results 2026 Live: US President Donald Trump has said he will accept the election results as Democrats seize control of both the Senate and the House of Representatives in a sweeping rebuke to his presidency. The results mark a major shift in control of Congress and could significantly constrain Trump's legislative agenda.
US Midterm Election Results live updates
US Midterm Election Results 2026 Live Updates: President Donald Trump said on Wednesday the Iran war has been worth it despite acknowledging its role in losses in US midterm elections in which his Republicans were driven from control of Congress.
"The Iran thing we had to do, and we continue to do it," he told reporters.
Trump has previously said he will accept the election results after a blue tsunami swept through the US midterm elections, with Democrats winning control of both chambers of Congress in a widespread rebuke to Trump and the Republican Party. Six Senate seats and more than half a dozen House seats have flipped to Democrats, with the party making historic gains in Republican strongholds.
Democrats have flipped Senate seats in Texas, Kansas and South Carolina, states that had not elected Democratic senators in decades. All 435 House seats were up for election, with 218 required for a majority. The results could reshape Congress, giving Democrats greater power to influence legislation and scrutinise Trump's administration.
Earlier, Trump had expressed confidence that Republicans would perform better than expected in Tuesday's midterm elections, arguing that the economy was in good shape despite persistent voter concerns over rising living costs.
Election Day in America: Latest important developments
Polling begins following voting disturbances
US citizens in various US states have begun voting for the mid-term elections of 2026. First polling stations are due to close at 4:30 AM IST on November 4. There have been some issues with voting. Voting machines have broken down in Westchester County of New York, and flooding has displaced 23 polling stations in Florida.
Control of Congress is in the balance
This year's elections will decide which party controls Congress and will allow the current president, Donald Trump, to continue with his legislative program. The Democrats need to win three additional seats in the House and four seats in the Senate to gain control of the Congress. CNN's Poll of Polls reveals that the Democrats enjoy a nine point lead on the generic congressional ballot. Republicans face challenges related to their redistricting and defending Senate seats in solidly Republican states.
Justice Department deploys election monitors
US Justice Department has sent about 1,000 election monitors to 126 jurisdictions throughout all 50 states. A check of the department's list reveals that many of the jurisdictions with monitors are Democratic strongholds.

Democrats made sweeping gains in state governments in the 2026 US midterm elections, taking full control of legislatures in Minnesota and Wisconsin and shifting the balance of power across battleground and traditionally Republican-leaning states.
The victories could help the party secure additional state-level trifectas, giving it control of both legislative chambers and the governor's office.
The results also bring pressure on Democrats to address voter concerns over fuel prices, affordable housing and the rising cost of living, while shaping policies on taxation, abortion rights, education funding, school choice and data centre development.

US Midterm Elections Result Live 2026: 5 numbers that explain Democrats' sweeping victory
Democrats' sweeping gains in the 2026 US midterm elections, which saw the party reclaim control of both chambers of Congress and several key governorships, were driven by record early voting, unprecedented campaign spending and a sharp shift among young and Latino voters.
The scale of the Republican defeat, which marked a major setback for President Donald Trump's political agenda, was reflected in five key numbers, according to an analysis by AFP.
1. 61.7 million: Record early votes
Americans cast more than 61.7 million ballots before Election Day, setting a record for early voting in a US midterm election, according to the University of Florida's Election Lab.
The high turnout among African Americans, young voters and other groups that typically support Democrats helped fuel the party's gains, AFP reported, citing NPR.
2. $11.9 billion: Record election spending
Spending on the 2026 midterms reached a record $11.9 billion, up from $8.9 billion in 2022, according to OpenSecrets.
House and Senate candidates spent an unprecedented $3.7 billion, with Democrats outspending Republicans by $800 million. Outside groups, meanwhile, spent around $360 million more in support of Republicans.
In Texas, Democratic Senate candidate James Talarico raised $145 million, compared with $22 million by Republican rival Ken Paxton.
3. 1932: Kansas elects a Democrat after 94 years
Democrat Adam Hamilton defeated Republican incumbent Roger Marshall in Kansas, becoming the first Democrat to win a Senate race in the largely conservative state since 1932.
The state was among several Republican strongholds where Democrats scored historic victories.
4. 1988: Democrats flip Texas Senate seat
Democrat James Talarico won a Senate seat in Texas, marking the first time since 1988 that the party had flipped a Senate seat in the state.
South Carolina also saw a major shift, with Democrat Annie Andrews defeating Republican Darline Graham. The state's last Democratic Senate victory was in 1998.
5. 62%: Latino voters back Democrats
Latino voters backed Democratic candidates by 62% to 35% over Republicans, according to NBC News exit polls, marking a sharp shift from the group's support for Trump in the 2024 presidential election.
Young voters also swung decisively towards Democrats. Voters aged 18-29 backed Democratic candidates by 72% to 25%, according to NBC News exit polls.
The results pointed to a significant shift among two voter groups that had been important to Trump's 2024 victory, AFP reported.

US midterm elections 2026: Key Senate races to watch
Polls have closed in a few states, with several closely watched Senate contests set to shape the battle for control of the US Senate in the 2026 midterm elections.
The races in Texas, Michigan, Kansas and Iowa are among those drawing particular attention as Republicans and Democrats vie for crucial seats.
Here are four key Senate races to watch:
The races in Texas, Michigan, Kansas and Iowa are among those drawing particular attention as Republicans and Democrats vie for crucial seats.
Here are four key Senate races to watch:
- Texas: Can Democrats make a breakthrough?
Republicans have carried Texas in each of the last 12 presidential elections. But the Senate contest between Republican Ken Paxton and Democrat James Talarico has emerged as a competitive race. Democrats are hoping to turn the contest into an upset in the traditionally Republican state. Paxton's nomination had raised concerns among some Republicans, who viewed him as more vulnerable in the general election than incumbent Senator John Cornyn. - Michigan: A test for progressive Democrats
The Senate race between Democrat Abdul El-Sayed and Republican Mike Rogers has been closely contested. Michigan is central to Democrats' hopes of gaining the four seats needed to take control of the Senate. El-Sayed's primary victory was widely seen as a test of the party's ideological direction, with his general-election campaign also testing whether a more progressive candidate can win the state. - Kansas: Republicans face a tighter contest
The Senate race in Kansas has drawn significant spending from both parties in the final weeks of the campaign after the contest became unexpectedly competitive for Republicans. Republican Senator Roger Marshall has made late moves to distance himself from President Donald Trump. - Iowa: Economic concerns put seat in play
Democrats have seen an opportunity to contest Iowa's Senate seat amid voter frustrations over the economy and rising costs, particularly among farmers.

It’s them, not me — My numbers are better than they have ever been. The new CNN Poll stated that “TRUMP” is at 99% among Republicans and, among Republican Presidents, “TRUMP” is at 53%, compared to Ronald Reagan at 18%, and Abraham Lincoln at 8%! Fox knows this, and so does everyone else! Also, why is Fox Corp. spending so much money donating to the Worst of the Worst, including Hakeem Jeffries, Jamie Raskin, Ted Lieu, Pete Aguilar, the California Dumocratic Party, the Dumocratic Congressional Campaign Committee, the Dumocratic Senatorial Campaign Committee, the Congressional Black Caucus PAC, the CHC Bold PAC, and the New Dumocrat Coalition Action Fund, among others? No wonder FoxNews Ratings are collapsing, and they’re going to go down a lot further. They’re way down, not because of me, but because they are AGAINST me! This happened once before, and Fox almost collapsed. It’s happening again!," President Trump said in a post on Truth Social

US Midterm Early Election Results 2026: Cost of living and government corruption are top issues, AP Voter Poll says
Election Day is here. Voters nationwide will decide control of the U.S. House and Senate. Democrats must flip four seats in the Senate and three seats in the House to wrest control of the chambers from Republicans. Control of Congress would give Democrats a way to push back against President Donald Trump's agenda during the final two years of his term. The battle for control is playing out mostly in states and districts Trump previously won by wide margins. All eyes are on Senate contests in Alaska, Iowa, Kansas, Maine, Michigan, Ohio and Texas, while House battlegrounds are scattered across the country. Democrats have homed in on Trump's poor approval rating, public dissatisfaction with the war in Iran and affordability concerns. Republicans have focused on social issues, while Trump has made himself the central character of the midterms. Here's the latest.

US Midterm Elections Results Live 2026: Los Angeles and Washington mayoral races put democratic socialist candidates in focus
Mayoral contests in Los Angeles and Washington, D.C., could extend the recent electoral gains of democratic socialists in major US cities, following Zohran Mamdani’s election as New York mayor in 2025.
Nithya Raman is challenging incumbent Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass, while Janeese Lewis George is seeking the top job in Washington after winning the Democratic primary.
Both cities have predominantly Democratic electorates. Bass is seeking another term after a difficult first tenure that included the deadly Palisades Fire, which broke out while she was overseas and caught the fire department unprepared.
In Washington, Lewis George’s potential victory would end 25 years of centrist governance and put her among a growing group of democratic socialist mayors, including Seattle’s Katie Wilson, who won an upset victory last year.

Daryl Compton, a 73-year-old retired UPS worker, told AP he remains confident that President Donald Trump will bring down fuel prices, despite concerns over their current levels, as he prepares to vote for Republican Senator Roger Marshall in Kansas.
Speaking at a rally in Topeka last week addressed by Vice President JD Vance, Compton cited illegal immigration, the economy and national security, particularly the threat from Iran, among his concerns.
“But I put my trust in Trump that they are going to come down,” he said, adding that he expected prices to fall further than anticipated. Compton said he was backing Marshall because a victory for Democratic challenger Adam Hamilton could give Democrats control of the Senate.

“She’s one vote,” Schumer said. “He’s going to win tonight because he’s talking about what Michiganders care about.”

Ohio has returned to the centre of the US midterm election contest, with closely fought Senate and gubernatorial races drawing heavy campaign spending and visits from prominent political figures.

Across the country, I think people are really excited - especially Democratic voters - to get out there and return power in Congress to the Democratic parties so we can begin to have some accountability for this outrageously horrible regime in Washington. But here in New York City, the city is very alive. We had really great early vote turnout and I think are people are really excited to get out there and vote

US Midterm Elections Results Live 2026: House vacancies add uncertainty to key US midterm races as lawmakers seek Senate and governor posts
Thirty sitting members of the US House of Representatives sought election to a different office in the current cycle, including 12 who are contesting Senate or gubernatorial races.

Republican Representative Ashley Hinson is among those seeking a Senate seat, challenging for the position in Iowa in one of the closely watched contests.
Other districts drawing attention include Iowa’s 2nd, Arizona’s 1st and Michigan’s 10th, where Republican incumbents opted to run for governor instead of seeking re-election.

Around seven in 10 US adults believe the country is heading in the wrong direction, while only about a quarter feel it is moving along the right path, according to an AP-NORC poll conducted in September.

President Donald Trump has expressed confidence that Republicans will perform better than expected in Tuesday’s US midterm elections, arguing that the economy is in good shape despite persistent voter concerns over rising living costs.
In a morning interview with “Fox and Friends”, Trump said “inflation is solved” and “everything’s going good”, while pointing to his administration’s immigration enforcement and growth in US manufacturing. “I think the results are going to be better than you think,” he said.
His upbeat assessment comes as grocery, fuel and healthcare costs continue to weigh on households. Annual inflation stands at 3.7%, compared with 3% when Trump began his second term.

US Midterm Elections Results Live 2026: Four Senate contests to watch as Democrats and Republicans battle for control of Congress
The Senate races in Michigan, Maine, Alaska and Ohio are drawing particular attention as both parties vie for control of Congress in the US midterm elections. In Michigan, Democrat Abdul El-Sayed is challenging Trump-endorsed Republican Mike Rogers as Democrats defend their Senate seat.
Maine, once considered a strong opportunity for a Democratic pickup, has become more competitive as Republican incumbent Susan Collins holds her ground and Democrats contend with a late change in candidates, replacing Graham Planter with Troy Jackson.
In Alaska, former Democratic congresswoman Mary Peltola is seeking to unseat Republican Senator Dan Sullivan, while facing criticism over allegations that her campaign recruited a candidate sharing Sullivan’s name to confuse voters. In Ohio, Democrat Sherrod Brown is attempting to reclaim the Senate seat he lost in 2024 from Republican incumbent Jon Husted, in a state that has increasingly leaned towards Republicans since Trump’s first term.

Republican Senator Roger Marshall is fighting to retain his seat against Democratic challenger Adam Hamilton in a closely watched Kansas contest that has set a state record for campaign advertising expenditure.
No Democrat has won a Senate election in Kansas in 94 years.
Marshall is seeking a second term amid voter dissatisfaction with President Donald Trump’s handling of the economy, while Hamilton has made the cost of living a central campaign issue and presented himself as a moderate willing to work across party lines in Washington.
Hamilton is the founder and senior pastor of Church of the Resurrection in the Kansas City area, the largest United Methodist congregation in the US, with 25,000 members.

US Midterm Elections Results Live 2026: DeSantis says Republicans risk losing voters by denying Iran conflict is driving up fuel prices
Florida Governor Ron DeSantis has urged President Donald Trump and fellow Republicans to acknowledge that the conflict in Iran is pushing up fuel prices, warning that blaming former President Joe Biden instead could alienate voters.
In a Monday interview with commentator Stephen A. Smith, DeSantis said Trump had initially pledged to avoid starting new wars in the Middle East but was now involved in an “open-ended” conflict in Iran. “Gas is higher and it hurts people, working-class people,” he said. “
And it’s higher because of this conflict. That’s just a fact. If you can’t admit that to voters, then you’re gaslighting them and they’re not going to listen to you on other things.” DeSantis unsuccessfully challenged Trump for the Republican presidential nomination in 2024 and could seek the party’s nomination again in 2028.

While their original strategy centred on races in Alaska, Ohio, Maine and North Carolina, Democrats now see potential openings in Texas, Kansas and Iowa, states that President Donald Trump won by double-digit margins in 2024.
The party must also defend its existing positions, with Michigan and Minnesota emerging as key contests alongside Georgia, where Democrats expect to retain their hold.

An Associated Press analysis of presidential vote margins in each district before and after the changes found significant shifts in the political and demographic composition of several constituencies.

The outcome of the US midterm elections could significantly shape President Donald Trump's final two years in office, with Republicans facing the possibility of losing control of one or both chambers of Congress.
Democrats have indicated that regaining power would allow them to intensify scrutiny of the administration over its policies, alleged personal financial gains and potential abuses of power.
Control of the House would give Democrats leadership of key committees, greater investigative resources and subpoena powers, opening the door to extensive congressional oversight and a possible impeachment push.

The US Supreme Court has ruled against the Trump administration's attempt to compel California election officials to segregate and withhold ballots cast by voters the Justice Department alleges are non-citizens.
The decision follows several lower-court rulings in favour of California, which argued that the federal government was attempting to interfere in state election administration. The dispute began after the Justice Department claimed that 20,000 non-citizens were on California's voter rolls and gave local officials 48 hours to review a list of names before demanding that their ballots be set aside.
The Supreme Court issued no explanation for its decision, and no dissents were recorded.

Iowa is heading into an unusual election cycle, with both its governor's office and a US Senate seat up for grabs for the first time since 1968.
The contests opened up after Republican Governor Kim Reynolds and Senator Joni Ernst decided against seeking re-election, creating opportunities for Democrats in a state where Republicans currently dominate elected offices.
Republicans control the state government and hold every seat in Iowa's congressional delegation.
However, Democrats are hoping to capitalise on voter concerns over rising grocery and fuel costs, manufacturing job losses, difficulties in the agricultural sector and increasing cancer rates to make gains in the state.

US Midterm Elections Live Results 2026: Congress, governorships and key state contests at stake as voters head to polls
The 2026 US midterm elections will determine the balance of power in Congress, with all 435 voting seats in the House of Representatives and 35 Senate seats up for grabs. Voters will also elect governors, state legislators and local representatives, while deciding on several ballot measures that could shape policies across the country.
The US Congress comprises two chambers, the House and the Senate. Both must approve federal legislation before it becomes law and play an important role in holding the executive branch accountable. The House faces elections every two years, with all 435 voting seats contested each time. Senators, meanwhile, serve staggered six-year terms, with roughly one-third of the 100-member chamber facing voters every two years.
What is at stake in 2026?
Republicans are defending a narrow majority in the House, where Democrats need a net gain of four seats to take control. In the Senate, 35 seats are being contested, including 33 regular elections and two special contests in Florida and Ohio to fill vacancies for uncompleted terms. Republicans currently hold 53 seats, while Democrats and independents who caucus with them hold 47. Democrats need to gain four seats to secure a majority.
The elections also include 39 gubernatorial contests, covering 36 states and three US territories. Thousands of state legislative seats, along with local government positions and judicial offices, are also on the ballot. Voters will additionally decide on measures covering issues such as taxation, abortion rights and voting rules, making the midterms consequential beyond the fight for control of Congress.
Why do the midterms matter?
The outcome will determine how much influence Republicans and Democrats have over federal legislation and congressional oversight during the remainder of President Donald Trump's term. A change in control of either chamber could reshape the administration's ability to advance its legislative priorities and influence the direction of national policy.

US Midterm Elections Live Results 2026: Democrats lead in key Senate battlegrounds, but Michigan endorsement sparks party rift
Democratic Senate candidates are leading in five of seven closely watched battleground races, including Texas and Kansas, according to a final New York Times-Siena University poll published on Sunday. The findings point to potential opportunities for Democrats in two states that have not elected a Democratic senator since 1988 and 1932, respectively.
However, the party faced fresh internal divisions in Michigan, a state considered crucial to the battle for control of the Senate. Democratic Congresswoman Haley Stevens, who lost the party's Senate primary to Abdul El-Sayed, endorsed Republican candidate Mike Rogers on Sunday, drawing sharp criticism from fellow Democrats.
The endorsement followed a dispute between Stevens and El-Sayed's campaign over an advertisement by an outside group that blamed the high cost of living on US support for Israel. Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer criticised Stevens' decision, calling her endorsement of Rogers "a despicable betrayal".

US Midterm Elections Live Results 2026: South Carolina Democrats see opening in Senate race after Lindsey Graham’s death reshapes contest
Democrats in South Carolina are entering the Senate contest with renewed hopes of ending a two-decade-long losing streak in statewide elections after the sudden death of Lindsey Graham triggered an unexpected change in the Republican nomination process.
Republicans were forced to select a new candidate through a special primary, which was eventually won by Graham's sister, Darline Graham. The political shake-up has given Democratic nominee Annie Andrews and her supporters fresh reason to believe the state could become competitive, although some remain cautious about the party's chances.
South Carolina has consistently supported President Donald Trump, who endorsed Darline Graham, encouraged her to enter the race and has campaigned for her in the state twice. Democrats are drawing encouragement from their party's advances in neighbouring North Carolina and Georgia, but acknowledge that translating those gains into a victory in South Carolina may prove difficult.

US Midterm Elections Live Results 2026: Trump’s approval rating slips to 35% as Americans assess his second-term performance, AP-NORC poll says
President Donald Trump's approval rating has fallen to 35% as a growing share of Americans express dissatisfaction with his performance during his second term, according to an AP-NORC poll conducted in October. Although Trump is not on the ballot in the US midterm elections, public opinion about his presidency remains a significant part of the political landscape.
The latest survey found that only around one in three US adults approved of the way Trump was handling his presidency. The figure marks a decline from the 42% approval rating recorded shortly after he began his second term.
Trump's approval has generally remained within a relatively narrow range, but the latest reading points to a loss of support among both Republicans and independents. Among Republicans, around 70% approved of his presidential performance in October, compared with 82% at the beginning of his term.

US Midterm Elections Live Results 2026: Economy, Iran war, immigration and AI dominate voter concerns
The economy, the US war with Iran, immigration and the rapid expansion of artificial intelligence (AI) have emerged as key issues shaping voter sentiment in the 2026 US midterm elections. These concerns are influencing the political debate as Republicans and Democrats compete for control of Congress.
- Economy and affordability: The cost of living remains a major concern for voters, despite Trump's 2024 campaign promise to make everyday expenses more affordable. Economic concerns continue to feature prominently in voters' priorities, putting the administration's record on inflation under scrutiny.
- Iran war and fuel prices: Trump's decision to launch military action against Iran has added to economic concerns. Tehran's retaliatory closure of the Strait of Hormuz has pushed up gasoline prices for American motorists. The conflict has also raised questions about Trump's earlier pledge to keep the US out of prolonged overseas wars.
- Immigration and border enforcement: Immigration remains a central issue for Trump, who has repeatedly presented tighter border controls and the closure of the southern US border as major achievements of his presidency. He has also contrasted his administration's border enforcement record with that of former President Joe Biden.
- AI and data centres: Artificial intelligence has also become a campaign issue, with surveys indicating that a majority of voters hold negative views about the technology. Trump, however, has continued to champion AI development and has sought to popularise the term "super intelligence" as the technology becomes an increasingly prominent part of the political debate.

US Midterm Elections Live Results 2026: Inflation anger puts team Trump and Republicans under pressure
Rising living costs have emerged as a key concern for voters in the US midterm elections, putting President Donald Trump and Republicans under pressure as they seek to retain control of Congress.
Inflation had contributed to voter backlash against Democrats in the previous two elections. However, Trump's pledge to bring prices down has not translated into the relief many Americans expected. Annual inflation has climbed to 3.7%, compared with 3% when he began his second term.
The administration's tariff policies pushed up inflation last year, while the decision to launch a war with Iran has added to the cost of oil, petrol and diesel. Consumer sentiment has consequently fallen to levels below those recorded during recent recessions, even as unemployment remains relatively low at 4.2%.

US Midterm Elections Live Results 2026: Trump & Republicans face battle to retain control of Congress as polls open across America
The first polls have opened across the United States as Republicans and President Donald Trump face a crucial electoral test, with voters set to decide whether the party can retain control of Congress or Democrats can seize majorities in the House of Representatives and the Senate.
Democrats need to flip four seats in the Senate and three in the House to wrest control of both chambers from Republicans. Winning either or both chambers would give Democrats greater power to challenge Trump's legislative agenda during the final two years of his presidency. Much of the battle is playing out in states and congressional districts that Trump won by sizeable margins in previous elections.
Seven Senate races are drawing particular attention, in Alaska, Iowa, Kansas, Maine, Michigan, Ohio and Texas, while competitive House contests are spread across the country. Democrats have centred their campaign on Trump's approval ratings, dissatisfaction with the war in Iran and concerns over affordability. Republicans, meanwhile, have focused on social issues, with Trump making himself a central figure in the midterm campaign.
