The votes cast in the U.S. midterm elections will do far more than determine who controls Congress. They will help shape the direction of American politics, the balance of power in Washington, and the national conversation for years to come. What outcomes should we be watching for, and what might they mean for the country’s political future? Which issues, movements, and demographic shifts are driving voters, and what will the results tell us about an increasingly divided America? In this timely session, we will look beyond the horse race to consider what the midterms could mean for American democracy, Israel and U.S. foreign policy, antisemitism, religious freedom, and our lives and responsibilities both as Americans and as Jews.
