Senate election updates as first polls begin to close

This story is from the archive. It was covered between 3 November 2026 and 3 November 2026, and nothing below has been updated since. See what is happening now.

Republicans are defending a 53-47 majority in the Senate, as Democrats aim to flip enough seats to gain control.

What the coverage shows

All three outlets frame the event as live midterm election coverage centered on control of Congress, with the AP and Guardian both explicitly offering live results and Senate and House balance-of-power maps or results. Fox News instead foregrounds key House and Senate races to watch and early-voting numbers, while the AP alone says it will be live from campaign events for named candidates. The Guardian is the only one to add governor races and all 50 states in its headline and extract.
