Story summary

On November 3, 2026, Americans voted in the midterm elections, which were critical for determining whether Republicans would retain their control over the House and Senate during President Donald Trump's second term. These elections, held every two years midway through a presidential term, saw Democrats aiming to gain control of both chambers to constrain Trump’s legislative agenda. Key issues included domestic policies, trade tactics, and foreign policy impacts on global markets like diesel prices and utility costs. The outcome would significantly influence the final two years of Trump's presidency and affect financial markets globally, particularly impacting Canadian retirement savings.
