The United States midterm elections, scheduled for November 3, 2026, could change control of Congress and are seen as a test for President Donald Trump. Voters will elect all members of the House of Representatives, some U.S. senators, as well as governors in 36 states.

Republicans currently control the House of Representatives, with 218 seats to the Democrats’ 214, and the Senate, with a 53-47 majority. To take control of the House, Democrats need a net gain of four seats, while in the Senate they must secure four additional seats.

Early voting is already underway, and more than 100 million Americans could take part in the election. Campaigns had spent approximately $3.8 billion on political advertising by October 12. Elon Musk contributed around $366 million in support of Republicans.

Polls indicate a 32% approval rating for Trump, amid dissatisfaction over prices and the economy. Democrats appear more mobilized, but Republicans retain financial advantages and benefit from the concerns of moderate voters. The result will influence the legislative agenda, potential investigations into the administration, and preparations for the 2028 presidential election.

Why it matters: The vote could reshape congressional control and determine the political environment for the rest of Trump’s term and the 2028 presidential race.

Context: Trump pune condiții pentru acceptarea rezultatului și intensifică mesajele despre fraude

Înaintea scrutinului, Donald Trump a declarat că va accepta rezultatul alegerilor intermediare doar dacă votul va fi „corect”, fără să prezinte dovezi privind fraude electorale. El a lăsat să se înțeleagă că, în cazul unei victorii a democraților, ar putea colabora cu aceștia, dar a subliniat că dispune de un drept de veto „puternic”, pe care l-ar putea folosi în negocierile cu Congresul.

În același timp, Trump a intensificat avertizările despre presupuși fraudatori: a promis un milion de dolari pentru informații care ar duce la condamnarea unor persoane pentru fraudă electorală și a anunțat un „recurs preventiv” în cazul unei victorii democrate în Alaska. În paralel, analiștii au atras atenția că sondajele pot fi înșelătoare în anii cu el la centru, invocând erori mari în estimări la votul popular în trecut.
