U.S. midterm elections in 2026: A day of significant events

The U.S. midterm elections on November 3, 2026, were marked by significant events. Polls closed with stock markets volatile, 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 international policy influences, including Ukraine and Iran. The day saw immigration, inflation, and Iran in focus, with Trump defending his record. Stock markets remained shaky ahead of the election, with Apple facing pressure.
