As voters prepare to cast their ballots on Tuesday, November 3, 2026, the ongoing conflict with Iran has become a central issue in the U.S. midterm elections. The war has led to significant domestic effects, such as skyrocketing fuel prices that have increased the cost of other goods. Polls indicate that many voters from both parties believe the conflict was not worth its consequences. This raises questions about whether the election will shift control of the Senate and House of Representatives towards the Democrats and what implications that might have for President Donald Trump's remaining time in office.
