About this event
The implications of the 2026 midterm elections will be felt far beyond Washington, DC. Join GMF for a conversation on the electoral landscape, the key races that could determine control of Congress, and the political dynamics shaping the campaign.
Panelists will discuss what unified or divided government could mean for US leadership and the transatlantic relationship, and explore how major foreign policy developments are influencing domestic politics, voter sentiment, and the broader election landscape.
