Republicans and Democrats Battle for Congress in 2026 Midterms

The 2026 U.S. midterm elections are shaping up as a contest between Republicans and Democrats, with control of Congress at stake. President Trump is campaigning in red states, but the GOP is divided over whether those states are competitive. Democrats have easier paths to flipping the Senate, and an antiwar veterans group is spending millions to elect them. Republicans are testing anti-socialist messages in Michigan amid fears of voter apathy, while voters appear less focused on crime, immigration, and transgender issues than the GOP hopes.
