Countries worldwide are keeping a close eye on United States’ ongoing midterm elections that are held today, November 8, 2022. The US midterm elections are important for the Republicans and Democrats, led by President Joe Biden, as they might change the country’s course for the next two years.
In these polls, the country’s economy would be the most crucial issue, as Americans’ sentiments toward the nation’s economy have been overwhelmingly cynical in the last few months.
The dominating issues for these mid-term elections would be the rising interest rates, inflation, abortion laws, abortion rights, gun policy, foreign relations, education, and so on.
The US elections come at a time when the whole world is standing at a critical juncture in the wake of the Russia-Ukraine war, unrest in Iran, Global economic slowdown, etc.
The mid-term elections are taking place when President Joe Biden does not score good ratings for over a year few of his decisions, like new laws on climate change, gun control, and infrastructure investment, have not gone down well with the public. At this point, America is going through the worst of economic crises.
The US mid-term elections can play a vital role in determining who will control the state legislatures, Congress, and the Governor’s offices. If the Democrats lose their narrow majority, the upcoming two years will turn out to be more challenging for President Biden as he will face obstacles in getting the successful passage of bills.
Meanwhile, former US President Donald Trump, currently under investigation by government authorities for various reasons, is likely to be the face of the Republican campaign, and if they perform well in these elections, it can also be a sign of him entering the Presidential race for the third time.
