US Midterm Elections on 3 November Will Determine Congressional Control

Voters in the United States will go to the polls on 3 November to decide whether the Republican‑led Congress will retain control or if the Democrats will regain a majority in the House of Representatives and possibly the Senate.

The Guardian’s graphics outline the numbers the Democrats would need to flip both chambers, highlighting the significance of the election for President Donald Trump’s second term.

Analysts suggest that current indicators of voter sentiment give the Democrats an advantage in the House race, with a potential, though less certain, chance of also winning the Senate.

A Democratic majority in either chamber would enable the party to block the Republican legislative agenda and intensify investigations into the Trump administration.
