Fact check: When are the next midterms?

1. Summary of the results

The question about when the next midterms will occur has a clear and consistent answer across all sources. The next midterm elections will be held on November 3, 2026 ^{[1] [2]}. These elections will determine the composition of the 120th United States Congress ^[1].

The sources provide comprehensive coverage of this information, with multiple authoritative references including Wikipedia's election pages ^[1], Ballotpedia's congressional election database ^[2], and official government sources ^[3]. All sources are in complete agreement on the date, with no conflicting information presented.

2. Missing context/alternative viewpoints

While the original question is straightforward, the analyses reveal several important contextual elements that weren't requested but provide valuable background:

• The 2026 midterms will involve elections for all seats in the U.S. House of Representatives and approximately one-third of U.S. Senate seats ^[2]
• Specific state races are already generating attention, such as Michigan's Senate race which could be highly competitive ^[4]
• The elections will follow the standard midterm cycle that occurs every two years during the middle of a presidential term ^[3]

The sources don't present alternative viewpoints because this is a factual question about an established electoral schedule. However, they do provide context about the electoral process and timing mechanisms that govern when these elections occur ^[3].

3. Potential misinformation/bias in the original statement

The original question "When are the next midterms?" contains no misinformation or apparent bias. It is a straightforward factual inquiry about the U.S. electoral calendar. The question is neutral and seeks basic civic information that is publicly available and well-documented.

All sources consulted provide consistent, factual information without political spin or partisan framing. The analyses demonstrate that this is simply a matter of established electoral law and scheduling, not a subject of political debate or interpretation.
