2022 Midterm Election Panel

2022 Midterm Election Panel

with

Rachel Bitecofer, Charlie Cook, and Matthew Dowd 

Moderated by John Harwood

Zoom, Thursday, November 3, 2022  5:00-6:00 pm EST

Every seat counts in the 2022 Midterms - and these elections will be consequential, one way or the other. 

Midterm elections are usually costly to the party in the White House  but this year may be different.  Republicans should gain seats and power, but Democrats now look stronger than expected. What will move voters? Biden’s approval ratings, extreme Republican candidates in many races, immigration pressures at the border, the Dobbs decision on abortion, and even Trump’s legal battles may factor in. TCG has a assembled a great panel of experts to survey the playing field and share their predictions:
