MS NOW Sets Up All-Day Midterm Election Night Coverage on Tuesday
MS NOW will air all-day coverage of the 2026 midterm election results on Tuesday, Nov. 3, with reporters in Atlanta and Houston and Rachel Maddow leading primetime.
MS NOW will carry all-day coverage of the 2026 midterm election results on Tuesday, Nov. 3, giving viewers a full day of reporting as votes are counted across the country.
Antonia Hylton will report live from the network's election night watch party in Atlanta, Georgia, while Alicia Menendez will broadcast from Houston, Texas. Rachel Maddow will lead the primetime coverage, which begins at 6 p.m.
The network's election night programming is part of a broader shift in how television viewers will follow the midterms. Election night is changing the usual television lineup, with broadcast networks and cable news outlets all adding live coverage to track results. Viewers who want to follow the returns can catch the live coverage across several channels, and MS NOW's broadcast is also available to stream online for free, according to the network's announcement.
The midterms will determine control of Congress and a range of state and local offices, and the coverage schedule reflects the high level of interest in the results. MS NOW's plan places its anchors in key locations while the main studio programming runs through the evening, allowing the network to combine on-the-ground reporting with analysis as returns come in.
