Elections in the United States were held on November 3, 2026. In these midterm elections, which occurred during the non-consecutive second term of incumbent Republican president Donald Trump, all 435 seats in the U.S. House of Representatives and 35 of the 100 seats in the U.S. Senate were contested to determine the 120th United States Congress. Thirty-nine state and territorial U.S. gubernatorial elections, attorney general elections, and numerous state and local elections were also contested. In one of the worst instances of the six-year itch suffered by a president serving a second term, the opposition Democratic Party won in a landslide victory, gaining a majority of seats in both houses of Congress and state governments across the United States.
