USA: Midterm elections 2022
22 | November | 2022

On November 8, Americans go to the polls in midterm elections to choose the House of Representatives, one third of the Senate, and 36 governors. The outcome of these elections will influence not only the next two years of Biden’s administration, but also transatlantic relations and support for Ukraine. On the other hand, many analysts believe that a Trump comeback and the future of American democracy are also at stake.
