'If You Can Keep It': Election Day 2026

It’s election day in America.

All 435 districts in the House of Representatives and 33 seats in the Senate are up for grabs. And five of the House’s six non-voting members are also in play.

Democrats will need to gain a net of four seats to win a majority in the Senate. Meanwhile, Republicans can lose no more than two seats to retain a majority in the chamber.

In this installment of “If You Can Keep It,” we check in as millions of Americans cast their ballots in the midterm elections.
