On the morning of Election Day, AmCham France and Institut Montaigne will gather a high-level panel of experts to predict outcomes for the Midterms and assess what is at stake for U.S. domestic policy.
Two years after Donald Trump’s accession to power, will the Republican Party keep its stronghold on both houses of Congress? Will they suffer losses in the Senate, House, or both?
Our experts will discuss whether the outcome of the Midterms will be an affirmation of President Trump’s record and what the results might mean for the 2020 election cycle. They will also gauge the possibility of a realignment in American politics, and what this means for the domestic political agenda. They will also delve into the America First policy and the actions that economic actors are taking to prevent trade isolationism.
Finally, our panelists will look at the bigger picture, and debate what these changes on the domestic front mean for the transatlantic relationship and the future of the Western alliance.
