2022 Election Preview

The midterm elections of 2022 will have an immense impact on the last two years of President Joe Biden’s first term.

If the Republicans win the Senate, they have vowed to use their clout to block any Supreme Court nominations. Suppose they win control of the House of Representatives. In that case, it is unlikely that President Biden will be able to pass any sweeping changes regarding gun safety, expanding the social safety net, slowing climate change, or expanding voting rights.

Just as the Democratic wave of 2018 shut down much of the agenda of former President Trump, this election could be crucial in establishing how America will deal with many issues over the next two tears. I will highlight the significant Senate elections across the country that will determine control of the Upper Chamber. We will also look at the elections here in the state of Illinois and examine how this election will begin to shape the field for the 2024 presidential election.
