TRUMP MAKES FINAL MIDTERM APPEAL – Senate race tensions grow as Americans prepare to vote in midterm elections
Americans are heading to the polls in the 2026 midterm elections, with control of Congress at stake. All 435 seats in the House of Representatives and 35 Senate seats are being contested, alongside 36 governorships. More than 57 million people had already voted early before Election Day.
There are no results yet, with polls opening across the country. The first results are expected later, after polling stations begin to close. Democrats are considered favourites to regain control of the House, but the Senate contest remains much tighter, with key races in states including Michigan, Maine, Alaska and Texas expected to influence the outcome.
President Donald Trump made a final appeal to voters on Monday, but spent much of his appearance discussing renovations to the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool in Washington. He briefly urged supporters not to allow what he called a party that “hates America” to take power.
