U.S. Midterm Elections: Information and Predictions

November 3, 2026

In the U.S. midterm elections, millions of Americans are voting to determine the new political balance in Congress. The outcome will significantly impact the government's agenda, particularly Donald Trump's ability to advance his policies. The first results are expected shortly after the polls close, but the final counting could take days or even weeks. The situation may be influenced by the 'red mirage,' where initial predictions can be misleading. In cases of tie, runoff elections will take place in some states.
