The American electoral system is unlike any other, and its midterm elections often have major consequences. This course explains how the 2026 elections work, who is contesting power, and why the results will matter far beyond Congress itself.

You’ll explore the main battlegrounds, the role of polling, and the larger political stakes for both parties. Although Trump will not be on the ballot, the outcome may determine the direction of the remainder of his presidency and how his final years in office are judged.
