The event will discuss the preliminary results of the U.S. midterm elections and their immediate political significance. Together with the political scientists Daniel Ziblatt (WZB/Harvard) and Daniel Benjamin (American Academy) and the economist Nicola Fuchs-Schündeln (WZB), we will explore what the outcome means for the second half of the presidential term and for key policy debates in the United States. The discussion will also consider the implications for Europe and transatlantic relations in the months ahead.

Organized by WZB Berlin Social Science Center in cooperation with the American Academy in Berlin.
