2018 midterm elections: Results and implications

Brookings

Thursday, November 8, 2018 - 3:30pm to 5:00pm

This year’s midterm elections could result in a major political shake-up of federal, state, and local leadership. Many candidates face tight, well-funded races and a political climate energized by reactions to President Trump. Once the polls close on Nov. 6, the time for analysis begins: Was the supposed “blue wave” successful? If yes, what are the implications? And if not, why? What can the results tell us about the governing challenges that will face America over the next two years?

Panelists will review the results of the race, the factors that produced that outcome, and what this means for the state of American politics moving forward.

After the discussion, panelists will take audience questions.

This event will be webcast live.
