The U.S. midterm elections on November 3, 2026, were marked by key moments. Polls closed with investment markets uncertain, tech giants facing challenges, and a U.S. strike on an Iranian island in the Strait of Hormuz hours before voting began. The elections also included a referendum on Trump's presidency and discussions on global policy effects, including eastern Europe and the Middle East. The day saw immigration issues, economic worries, and Iranian concerns, with Trump defending his record. Stock markets remained volatile in the run-up to the polls, with Apple struggling.
