Americans vote in 2026 midterms with control of Congress at stake

Millions of Americans voted in the 2026 midterm elections on Tuesday, with voting under way across the country, according to Euronews.

All 435 seats in the House of Representatives and 35 of the Senate's 100 seats are up for election, Euronews reported. The results will decide the contest for control of Congress.

Euronews said it is tracking key House and Senate races and showing which candidates lead as votes are counted. CNBC said its live coverage focuses on House and Senate races, including contests in Texas, Georgia, Ohio and Minnesota, and on results as polls close. CNBC's coverage is framed around the economy, inflation and voter concerns.

Results were still being counted at the time of the latest updates, and no outcomes had been confirmed in the material available.
