【データで見る アメリカ中間選挙 2026年】
CNNテレビによると、全議席が改選される下院(定数435)は米東部時間3日午後9時(日本時間4日午前11時)現在、共和党27議席、民主党57議席で当選を確実にした。事前予測では民主党が過半数の218を上回るとの見方もある。同党が下院を制すれば重要法案の通過を阻止し、議会調査権を通じてトランプ政権への追及を強める構えだ。
上院(定数100)は補欠選挙と合わせ35議席が選出対象。共和党は非改選議席31と合わせ34議席、民主党は南部ノースカロライナ州で議席を奪い、非改選議席34と合わせ45議席を獲得する見通し。激戦区を中心に開票作業に時間がかかり、大勢判明が遅れる可能性がある。アラスカ州では共和党現職と同姓同名の候補が出馬しており、混乱も予想される。
中間選挙では、全50州のうち36州で知事選も実施。共和党の牙城でも接戦が伝えられる。民主党で次期大統領候補に取り沙汰されるペンシルベニア州のシャピロ知事、イリノイ州のプリツカー知事らが勝利を確実にした。
