Alle elezioni di metà mandato l’onda ‘rossa’ dei Repubblicani non c’è e i democratici tengono meglio del previsto. Gop in vantaggio alla Camera, ma il Senato è in bilico e Trump non ne esce bene.
Oggi le elezioni di Midterm negli Stati Uniti. In palio c’è il rinnovo di tutta la Camera dei deputati, di un terzo del Senato e l’elezione dei governatori in 36 Stati su 50, ma anche molto di più.
Ecco 3 motivi per cui sono importanti:
Oggi le elezioni di midterm negli Stati Uniti: un referendum sulla Casa Bianca a due anni dall’elezione di Joe Biden. In palio c’è il rinnovo di tutta la Camera dei deputati e di un terzo del Senato. Ma qual è la posta in gioco? Cosa succede se vincono i Repubblicani? E Trump pensa di ricandidarsi? Una guida per districarsi attraverso 8 grafiche commentate.
Tutto pronto per le elezioni di metà mandato. Biden e Trump entrambi in Pennsylvania per eventi elettorali e c’è chi parla di ‘prova generale’ per il 2024.
On November 8, Americans will be called to vote for a variety of federal, State, and local offices. The entire House of Representatives, one third of the Senate, and 36 gubernatorial seats will also be on the ballot. The outcome of the 2022 midterm elections won’t just have a major impact on the remaining two years of Joe Biden's presidency.
After four turbulent years in the transatlantic partnership under President Trump, the Biden administration aspired to rebuild trust among its allies. Under the slogan “America is back” President Biden and senior officials not only emphasized their commitment to the transatlantic partnership but also proposed a future-oriented agenda to increase institutional innovation and resilience.
On November 8, Americans will be called to vote for a variety of federal, State, and local offices. Like every two years, the entire House of Representatives and 1/3 of the Senate (34 senators + 1 special vote in Oklahoma) will be up for election. At the State level, 88 of 99 legislative chambers – Nebraska having the only unicameral system – will hold elections, and 36 gubernatorial seats will also be on the ballot (there were only 11 in 2020).
The 2022 midterm congressional elections should be good ones for the Republican Party. Capitalizing on President Biden’s unpopularity and voter concerns over inflation, crime, and border security, GOP candidates are widely expected to capture the House of Representatives, and stand at least an even chance of taking the Senate as well. The party, however, stands in many ways at a crossroads in 2022; the outcomes of various races on Election Night will tell much about the party’s agenda, coalition, and prospects going forward.
As the midterm elections approach, immigration is again a powerful flashpoint in the polarised landscape of American politics.
Last September, the House minority leader Kevin McCarthy (R-California) blamed president Biden for making ‘every community a border community’. He may have not accurately described the state of affairs on the ground, but he certainly made it clear that border security, often conflated with crime, is at the centre of the GOP’s electoral rhetoric.
Almost exactly sixty years ago John F. Kennedy, a first-term Democratic president from the moderate wing of his party, campaigned across the country to prevent his party from losing control of Congress in the midterm elections. Kennedy had come under fire from the liberal wing of his party, and from African Americans marching for their civil rights, for being too timid in advocating for progressive change, but he was also under pressure from others in his party and beyond to revive a slowing economy.
The big question going into the 2022 midterm election is whether the Democrats, currently in control of the White House and Congress, can avoid the electoral dubbing that basic political conditions portend. Although midterms usually cost the president’s party seats in Congress, the extent of the damage varies widely, with seat swings ranging from +8 to -64 in the House (average, -27), and +3 to -13 in the Senate (average, -4) over the 19 postwar midterms.
