News organizations are following voting in the 2026 US midterm elections and the contest for control of Congress. Global News reports that all 435 seats in the House of Representatives and 35 Senate seats are up for election. Its coverage discusses what the outcome could mean for President Donald Trump’s legislative agenda over the next two years. [S2]
The BBC’s live coverage follows polling-station openings in different states and highlights Senate races in Alaska and Michigan. It also reports that 19 Florida polling stations were temporarily relocated because of flooding. These are developments described by the reporting, rather than a complete account of voting conditions nationwide. [S1]
Voter priorities are another focus. Global News cites an Ipsos poll for Reuters in which 47% of respondents identified cost of living as their leading concern, followed by democratic values and immigration. This is a reported poll finding; it does not establish how people ultimately voted or which party won. [S2]
NBC News provides a live results page for Georgia’s Secretary of State race. It explains that expected-vote estimates can change as more information arrives, and credits Associated Press data and NBC News Decision Desk projections. The sources reviewed here do not establish final national results or one explanation for all search interest in the election. [S3]
