Title: “After the Mid-Terms: The Next Cycle of American Politics”
Introducer: Linda Hutcheon
Abstract: The US mid-term elections, which take place on November 8th, will be important for understanding both the present and future directions of American government and politics. In this discussion, we will examine the outcome of the election and the shape of the new Congress, which will take office on Jan. 3rd. We will also consider the implications for American politics and policy over the remaining two years of the Biden presidency and the next electoral cycle.
