USA at a Crossroads – American Politics and the Midterm Election

The USA faces midterm elections on November 3rd – a vote that will shape the balance of power in Congress and Donald Trump's political room for manoeuvre. USA expert Anne Mørk discusses the American political landscape five days before the election and clarifies what Americans must decide on, which issues dominate the campaign, and how the result may affect the President's options over the next two years.

The event explores several key themes: the distribution of power in Washington and what is at stake, which political and economic issues concern American voters, Trump's future prospects after the election, and crucially the implications for Europe, Danish business and Danish security policy. Anne Mørk offers a sharp and comprehensible overview of the agendas, the dynamics of power play and possible election scenarios – without assuming participants have any prior expertise in American politics.
