Podcast America’s Choice: Biden’s Halftime: What the Outcome of the Midterms Means for the United States

    • November 10, 2022

    • November 10, 2022

The midterm elections are over. The United States elected a new Congress, 36 governors, and numerous other important political offices at the state level. The exact distribution of seats and the new balance of power in the House of Representatives and the Senate had been awaited with great excitement at home and abroad in the run-up to the elections. This is because the composition of the new Congress has far-reaching consequences for the second half of Biden’s presidency and for transatlantic relations. The election results are also a first hint at what might happen in the 2024 presidential election.
What will the future majorities in the Senate and House of Representatives look like? Which results of the gubernatorial elections stand out? What impact did the state of the U.S. economy, marked by high inflation, a strong dollar and stock market turmoil, have on the outcome of the midterm elections? What other issues were important to voters? What does the election outcome now mean for the governing Democrats on the one hand and the oppositional Republicans on the other for the next two years? Podcast hosts Julia Friedlander, Atlantik-Brücke, and Stormy-Annika Mildner, Aspen Institute Germany, discuss these questions with Dr. Meike Zwingenberger, Chief Executive Officer at the Bavarian Center for Transatlantic Relations, and Julian Heißler, U.S. Correspondent at Wirtschaftswoche in Washington, D.C.
