US voters cast their ballots on Tuesday in a critical midterm নির্বাচন as Democrats sought to gain control of Congress and establish the first major legislative check on US রাষ্ট্রপতি Donald Trump's second term in office.। A Democratic বিজয় in the House of Representatives would allow the party to block Trump's legislative proposals and initiate investigations into the administration's actions.। The নির্বাচন serves as a broad referendum on Trump's presidency, with voter sentiment shifting against the Republican party due to growing public frustration over rising living expenses and the ongoing conflict with Iran.।

All 435 House seats and 35 of the 100 Senate seats are at stake, along with governorships in 36 states. Democrats need only three House gains and a net four seats in the Senate to wrest both chambers from Republican hands.। In the hours before polls opened for the US midterm elections on Tuesday, federal judges issued a series of rulings restricting the Trump administration's unprecedented efforts to pressure state নির্বাচন কর্মকর্তারা over alleged noncitizen voting. Over the past several months, as রাষ্ট্রপতি Donald Trump's fellow Republicans geared up to defend their majorities in both houses of Congress, the administration ramped up a crackdown on noncitizen voting, which Trump allies say is a major problem even though evidence suggests it is exceedingly rare. । That push has repeatedly encountered resistance in the courts. Federal judges have found that the Trump administration was overstepping its authority by wading into নির্বাচন administration, a responsibility that the US Constitution assigns to the states, and that lists it had generated of alleged noncitizens registered to vote were inaccurate and risked disenfranchising naturalized US citizens.।

Ballot machines malfunctioned Tuesday in a New York county that will help decide a closely contested House of Representatives race, though কর্মকর্তারা said votes for the US midterm elections are still being counted.The Westchester County Board of Elections "is aware of an issue involving paper ballots that is preventing voting machines from accepting ballots at polling locations throughout the county," a বিবৃতি read.। It "wants to reassure every voter that your vote matters, your ballot will be secure and your vote will be counted," with ballots instead placed in emergency bags.। Wall Street stocks were mixed early Tuesday in cautious trading ahead of midterm US নির্বাচন results as Apple retreated following earnings.Political analysts expect রাষ্ট্রপতি Donald Trump's Republican party to lose at least one of the two congressional chambers and possibly both.।

We're great now. We were terrible two years ago," Trump told the "Fox & Friends" show as Americans voted in elections that could see his Republican Party lose control of Congress.।

Polls predict Democrats will win the House of Representatives and have a shot at the Senate, and Trump, whose own ratings have plunged, targeted his last-minute message at his right-wing base.। Voters began arriving at polling stations in Gaithersburg, Maryland, as voting commenced in the 2026 US midterm elections on Tuesday (local time), with several voters expressing hopes for political change and raising concerns over rising taxes and the country's future.Voters arrived at the polling station to cast their ballots, with one of the early voters giving a thumbs-up as he exited after voting.। Speaking to ANI, Maryland voter Heather Mullican said she was excited about the elections and hoped they would bring significant changes to the country.।

A Senate পরাজিত হওয়া would also threaten his ability to appoint Supreme Court justices and senior কর্মকর্তারা.। The নির্বাচন amounts to a nationwide judgment on Trump, with the mood turning sharply against Republicans amid anger over soaring living costs and the war against Iran.।
