众议院民主党领袖哈基姆·杰弗里斯在华盛顿的一个电话拉票中心对工作人员和志愿者表示，该党正处于“剧变的边缘”，并有望夺回众议院控制权。“我们将交付一个真正把美国人民利益放在首位的国会，”他说。
“We're going to deliver a Congress that actually puts the American people first,” he said.
在白宫，特朗普观看福克斯新闻的选前报道，但批评评论员杰西卡·塔洛夫。“在福克斯新闻看选前结果，但我受不了杰西卡·塔洛夫的声音——蠢得像块石头，但真正让我受不了的是她的声音。得去别处待着，直到那个失败者下播——我稍后回来，”他在Truth Social上写道。
At the White House, Trump watched pre-election coverage on Fox News but criticised commentator Jessica Tarlov. “Watching the Pre-Election Results on Fox News, but I can't stand Jessica Tarlov's voice - DUMB AS A ROCK, but it's the voice that gets me. Have to go somewhere else until that LOSER is off the air - I'll be back later,” he wrote on Truth Social.

We ended taxes on Social Security,” he wrote. On polling day, Trump announced that the US would stop providing Israel with USD 4 billion in aid from the following year.

选举将决定特朗普的共和党是否继续控制众议院和参议院，还是民主党至少控制众议院，正如民意调查所暗示的那样。结果将塑造特朗普第二任期最后两年的走向。如果民主党控制国会，他们将能够加强对特朗普行为的审查，并限制他推进议程的能力。特朗普将保留通过行政命令治理的权力。特朗普承认共和党可能失去两院，但表示他将使用总统否决权。
The outcome will shape the final two years of Trump's second term. If the Democrats gain control of Congress, they would be able to increase scrutiny of Trump's actions and restrict his ability to advance his agenda. Trump would retain the power to govern through executive orders. Trump acknowledged the possibility that Republicans could lose both chambers but indicated that he would use his presidential veto.
“我想我会成为‘否决先生’，”他在接受《纽约邮报》播客“Pod Force One”采访时，被问及这种可能性时这样说。投票前，共和党在两院均保持微弱多数。众议院有218名共和党人、214名民主党人、1名独立人士和2个空缺席位。参议院以53比47的比分由共和党占优，这意味着民主党需要净增四席才能控制参议院。在35个参议院席位中，22个由共和党人持有。
“I guess I'll become Mr Veto,” he told the New York Post's Pod Force One podcast when asked about such an outcome. Republicans held narrow majorities in both chambers before the vote. The House had 218 Republicans, 214 Democrats, one independent and two vacant seats. The Senate was divided 53-47 in favour of the Republicans, meaning Democrats needed a net gain of four seats to take control. Of the 35 Senate seats on the ballot, 22 were held by Republicans.
民主党力图在密歇根州、缅因州、俄亥俄州、堪萨斯州、得克萨斯州、爱荷华州和阿拉斯加州各赢得一个席位。每个美国州由两名任期六年的参议员代表，选举交错进行，因此每两年部分参议员面临选民。
Democrats were seeking to gain seven seats in Michigan, Maine, Ohio, Kansas, Texas, Iowa and Alaska. Each US state is represented by two senators serving six-year terms, with elections staggered so that part of the Senate faces voters every two years.
