The renewal will therefore involve the entire House of Representatives, while 35 Senate seats will be contested, according to information reported by ANSA. The election will determine the composition of the two legislative chambers, but the sources do not indicate which party will control them after the vote.
The decisive contest, according to EL PAÍS, will focus on a limited number of Senate seats. The balance of the Senate will be determined by these races, although the available information does not make it possible to anticipate the overall outcome.
As for polling, Clarín reports that Democrats are ahead in surveys for Congress. This is only a snapshot of the pre-election phase, however: the positions recorded in polls may change before the vote.
In the Senate, Clarín points to difficulties for Republicans in some key states. Among the areas identified as battlegrounds is Texas, where the competition for the Senate seat is described by the outlet as particularly close.
The vote also has a national dimension. ANSA and Clarín present it as an important political test for Donald Trump and his administration, while the distribution of seats will determine the balance of power in Congress.
The available sources place the elections in November 2026 and describe them as approaching, but they do not specify the exact day of the election. For this reason, any assessment of the result necessarily remains provisional.
The campaign is therefore opening with a contest focused on the House as a whole and on a small group of Senate seats. Neither the polls nor the cited reports currently establish which party will control the House of Representatives or the Senate after the elections.
