The 2026 US midterm elections are approaching amid growing political and legal uncertainty, with the Trump administration locked in a major battle over mail-in voting and federal control of election procedures.
The Trump administration has asked the US Supreme Court to lift a lower-court block on an executive order concerning mail-in ballots. The order, signed earlier by President Donald Trump, sought to restrict aspects of mail-in voting, with Trump arguing that mail-in ballots are vulnerable to fraud. A federal judge subsequently blocked the order, calling it unconstitutional and citing difficulties for states trying to implement the rules.
Several Democratic-led states have challenged the administration, arguing that states have broad constitutional authority over elections. Another controversial provision would require the administration to compile state-by-state lists of eligible voters for the delivery of mail-in ballots.
With early voting approaching in several states, election officials and voters are facing uncertainty over how the federal rules could affect the November midterms.
Meanwhile, House Speaker Mike Johnson has cancelled the final two weeks of the congressional session, leaving only four working days for the House before lawmakers break for the midterm elections. The move comes after the House passed a stopgap spending bill designed to prevent a government shutdown, keeping the federal government funded through December 11.
Watch this report for the latest US midterm election updates, Trump’s mail-in ballot battle, the Supreme Court legal showdown, state election powers, voter eligibility lists, congressional developments and the growing uncertainty ahead of the November 2026 elections.
