16 outlets told this the same way.
Midterms, Trump and veto
Donald Trump warned that if Republicans lose the 2026 midterms, he would veto “everything.” The White House prepared a reception at 7:00 p.m. at the White House, and the White House did not rule out a Donald Trump appearance depending on election results.
On Truth Social, Donald Trump said he would follow the results from the pre-election polls on Fox News, without commenting on the voting situation, and he complained about the voice of a presenter. At dusk, several government members were seen near the West Wing, including Marco Rubio, Markwayne Mullin, Doug Burgum, and Brooke Rollins.
Alaska dispute and polling
Dan Sullivan denounced the Democrats’ “electoral cheating,” accusing them of having pushed a candidate bearing the same name as him to run to split his vote. Hakeem Jeffries told the press in Washington, “We are on the verge of a radical shift in this country,” as polling places began to close in Kentucky and Indiana.
In Alaska, Dan Sullivan said he was ready to accept a potential defeat after voting in an Anchorage polling place, adding, “Once every legal vote is counted and certified, that’s what I intend to do,”. The BBC reported early voter-poll results showing 65% of voters saying President Trump’s policies have worsened economic conditions in the US, while 28% said they have improved conditions and only 8% said the president has had no impact.
Money, markets, and stakes
Open Secrets projected that the 2026 midterm campaign would reach total spending near 12 billion dollars, and Le Figaro said the figure would be a 30% increase from 2022’s 8.9 billion dollars. Le Figaro said pro-Republican Super PACs were expected to reach about 3.9 billion dollars, compared with 2 billion in the previous midterm elections in 2022, and it cited 2.03 billion dollars invested in 2026.
In Paris, the CAC 40 pulled back 0.34% to 8,020.31 points as investors played it safe ahead of the US midterms, and BFM Bourse quoted LBPAM saying, “For the markets, whether the result is favorable or unfavorable will depend on the degree of uncertainty it creates.” The Economist’s live results tracker showed Senate status as “Democrats 34 Republicans 31” and House status as “Democrats 0 Republicans 0,” with “218 seats for majority” listed for the House.
