Scripps News plans six hours of live midterm election coverage

Scripps News will provide six hours of live coverage of the 2026 midterm elections on Tuesday, Nov. 3, 2026, with Alisyn Camerota and Del Walters anchoring the network’s election night special.

The coverage will air from 6 p.m. to midnight ET, featuring election results, political analysis and reports from correspondents covering key congressional races and issues across the country.

Scripps News political director Andrew Rafferty will track results and examine voting data from the network’s studios in Atlanta, Georgia, alongside contributor Jon Leiberman.

The network will also incorporate original polling conducted through its partnership with Talker Research, along with interactive tools designed to help viewers follow election results.

Scripps News plans to draw on reporting from its national correspondents and local television stations to provide coverage of races and developments affecting the balance of power in Congress.

Jay Gray will report from Texas, while Alex Miller will cover Michigan and Stephanie Liebergen will report from Georgia.

Nathaniel Reed will cover Maine, Kadia Tubman will report from New York and Jacob Gardenswartz will focus on Iowa and other parts of the Midwest.

Several correspondents will also be assigned to specific election-related issues rather than individual states.
