The following is a list of events of the year 2026 in the United States , as well as predicted and scheduled events that have not yet occurred.
2026 is the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence of the United States from the British Empire. [1] The Declaration of Independence was signed on July 4, 1776, in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
The midterm elections are scheduled to be held on November 3. In the federal government, the offices up for election are all 435 seats of the House of Representatives, and roughly one third of the Senate. Most states and territories will hold elections for their legislatures.

A total solar eclipse occurred at the Moon's descending node of orbit on Thursday, July 11, 1991, with a magnitude of 1.08. A solar eclipse occurs when the Moon passes between Earth and the Sun, thereby totally or partly obscuring the image of the Sun for a viewer on Earth. A total solar eclipse occurs when the Moon's apparent diameter is larger than the Sun's, blocking all direct sunlight, turning day into darkness. Totality occurs in a narrow path across Earth's surface, with the partial solar eclipse visible over a surrounding region thousands of kilometres wide. Occurring about 8 hours after perigee, the Moon's apparent diameter was larger.
