US Midterms 2026: Trump’s Congressional Control Faces a Test
Republicans face a November 3 test of their congressional majorities, with control of the House and Senate shaping Donald Trump’s ability to advance his agenda.

Republicans will defend control of the US Congress in the November 3 midterm elections, with President Donald Trump’s legislative agenda at stake. India Global Review’s October 17 preview describes a narrow Republican majority in the House of Representatives and a firmer position in the Senate.
The preview identifies declining approval ratings for Trump, the US-Iran war, high oil prices and rising living costs as potential electoral liabilities for Republicans. These are the outlet’s assessments of campaign pressures, not evidence of an assured Democratic victory.
A Democratic takeover of either chamber would give the opposition greater scope to obstruct Trump’s legislative priorities. The election result—and whether Republicans can retain both chambers—remains undecided.
