What’s next for the US after the midterms? | US Midterm Elections 2022

From: Inside Story

The anticipated Republican ‘red wave’ of victories failed to materialise in the US midterm elections.

It was one of the most hotly contested and expensive midterm elections in recent United States history.

With control of both Houses of Congress in the balance, millions of Americans voted in Tuesday’s midterm elections.

Issues from the economy, to abortion rights, immigration and democracy itself, dominated the campaign trail.

So, what will this mean for the agenda of US President Joe Biden – and US politics?
