Ask what Korea is talking about.

Americans headed to the polls on Tuesday, November 3, in the 2026 midterm elections to deliver a verdict on President Donald Trump's second term, with surveys and nonpartisan analysts favoring Democrats to wrest the House, the Korea Times reports. Polling stations across the U.S. opened as voters struggled with high prices and anger over an unpopular war with Iran, deciding whether Republicans retain control of Congress or face Democratic majorities, according to KBS World and the Korea Times. The races were closely contested, with Democrats expecting to win at least partial control of Congress and impose political constraints on Trump, while observers kept close watch at the polls after a year in which Trump tried to interfere in how states run their elections. Korean coverage also highlighted the surge in early voting and the rush of serious money on prediction markets, with one 28-year-old financial technology worker, Noah Poser, tracking dozens of large wagers he placed.
