US midterm elections 2022

The US midterm elections, to be held on November 8, 2022, will see voters choose all 435 members of the House of Representatives and 35 of the Senate’s 100 members, in addition to legions of state and local officials. Midterms are traditionally seen as a referendum on the president’s performance, and the Democratic party losing control of the two houses of Congress would undercut Joe Biden’s ability to pass legislation. However, a tougher policy towards China remains one of the rare area of bipartisan agreement in an increasingly divided Washington.
