POLICY AND PRACTICE - The US midterm elections

Midterms typically serve as a referendum on the president and the party in office. But in an election year that has seen a roiling economy, the overturning of abortion rights, and the resurgence of Donald Trump, conventional wisdom may not apply. How is voter mobilization different this year, and what results should we expect? How would changes to the composition of Congress affect domestic and foreign policy? In this panel discussion, three leading experts - James Boys (Tufts University), Kyle Kondik (University of Virginia), and Lindsay Newman (S&P Global) - will examine the significance of the midterms and the state of democracy in America more broadly.
