Election Test for Trump
The U.S. midterm elections will be held on Tuesday, November 3, 2026, to renew all 435 seats in the House of Representatives and 35 Senate seats, as well as local offices. The results will determine which party controls Congress for the next two years. Democrats are leading in national polls by roughly 50% to 56%, compared with 40% to 45% for Republicans. They need a net gain of four Senate seats to secure a majority, while a House majority requires 218 seats. The list of Arab and Muslim candidates includes Abdulrahman al-Sayed, Rashida Tlaib, Ilhan Omar, Adam Hamawy, Aisha Wahab, André Carson, Zuhdi Jasser, and Lateefah Simon. The elections could give Democrats greater power to conduct oversight and block President Donald Trump’s agenda, although he retains the power to veto legislation. Voters’ main concerns include the economy and the rising costs of living, housing, and health care, as well as immigration and security. The war in Gaza and U.S.-Israeli relations are also prominent issues, particularly among Arab and Muslim communities.
