Americans are voting in the 2026 midterm elections, with control of Congress at stake as Republicans seek to retain their narrow majorities in the House and Senate. Democrats are hoping to gain enough seats to challenge President Donald Trump’s agenda during the final 2 years of his term. Rising living costs, immigration policies, healthcare and Trump’s approval ratings have emerged as major campaign issues. Republicans currently hold a 53-47 Senate majority, while Democrats need a net gain of 4 seats to take control. Voters will also elect governors in 36 states, making the elections a major political test for both parties. (PC: HT)
