This year's US midterm elections unfold against a backdrop of deep political polarization, a growing power struggle between Congress and President Donald Trump's White House, and mounting concerns over the cost of living. With the federal budget and economy under strain from the war on Iran and Trump's trade policies, both Republicans and Democrats face a high-stakes battle for control of Congress. We examine the political and economic forces shaping the 2026 midterms, and what the results could mean for Trump's presidency and the future of American democracy.
