Election: November 3. Format: general election.

Midterm Watch uses the less confident category when both producers favor the same party. A toss-up or opposing party preferences produces Toss-up. This rule supplies a transparent editorial label, not a calibrated probability. A safe rating is not a guaranteed result.

The record uses the publishers’ 2026 district identifiers. Historical margins and district geometry are not silently carried over from an earlier map.
