Americans are voting in the 2026 midterm elections, with control of both the House of Representatives and Senate at stake in what is widely being viewed as a major political test for President Donald Trump.

Democrats need a net gain of three House seats and four Senate seats to take control of both chambers. Competitive Senate races include contests in states such as Alaska, Iowa, Kansas, Maine, Michigan, North Carolina, Ohio and Texas, while dozens of House districts are also drawing national attention.

More than 50 million Americans voted before Election Day, while polling and campaign coverage show the economy, cost of living, immigration and foreign policy among the major issues influencing voters.

The outcome could have major consequences for the final two years of Trump’s term. If Republicans lose the House, Democrats would gain committee control and greater investigative powers. If Republicans lose the Senate, Trump’s ability to confirm judges and senior administration nominees could become much more difficult.

Some close races may not be settled immediately, with mail ballots and ranked-choice counting potentially delaying final results in several states.

Watch the full report for the key battlegrounds, the fight for Congress and what the midterm results could mean for Donald Trump’s presidency.

Khyber Pakhtunkhwa has been placed under emergency and governor’s rule after the federal government moved to assume greater administrative control of the province under Articles 232 and 234 of the Constitution. The decision follows heightened security concerns and growing political tensions between the federal government and the PTI-led provincial administration. The move has suspended the provincial government’s normal functioning, with key powers transferred to the governor and an advisory structure established to manage provincial affairs.

PPP Chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari has said that creating new provinces will not solve Pakistan’s economic problems. His remarks come amid a growing political debate over proposals to divide existing provinces into smaller administrative units.

Bilawal Bhutto has called for greater focus on economic reforms, governance, public welfare and development instead of relying on territorial restructuring as a solution to the country’s financial challenges.
