    The 2018 midterm elections ushered in a new generation of House of Representative members who will make up the reclaimed Democratic majority in the lower chamber of Congress in the 116th session, ensured that the Republicans held on to their majority status in the Senate, and handed President Trump the reality of working with a partisan Congress, and the prospect of achieving bipartisan compromise on legislative issues, in the remaining two years of his first term as President. The election results reflected not only the zeitgeist of the American electorate on the current state of American politics, but also signals the direction that the US government may take on a variety of domestic and international issues in the run up to the 2020 elections.

    On November 8, 2018, led by members of our Public Policy Practice, we hosted a midterm elections briefing in the Washington DC office that included a dynamic panel of political insiders and business leaders. They analyzed the election results and what to expect from the new Congress and the Trump Administration on issues of commerce and foreign policy.
