SUMMARY:2022 Election Preview
DESCRIPTION:The midterm elections of 2022 will have an immense impact on the last two years of President Joe Biden’s first term. \nIf 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. \nJust 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 several critical Gubenprtorial elections across the country and the major Senate races that will determine control of the Upper Chamber. \nWe will also look at the critical elections here in Illinois and examine how this election will begin to shape the field for the 2024 presidential election. \n

SUMMARY:Understanding the Election of 2022
DESCRIPTION:Election 2022 upended every historical norm for a midterm election! We know who won\, but now we have time for the more profound question. Why did it happen the way it unfolded? Understanding the election of 2022 means that we have to do a deep dive into who voted and why. I’ll offer ten takeaways that explain what we can learn from the 2022 midterm elections. \nWe will examine what each party learned and what it means for the future. Why did the expected ‘Red Wave’ not happen?The unique vote totals raise so many questions! What is abortion a vital issue? Did Hispanic voters really turn toward the Republican party? Why are some Republicans calling for the abolishment of the 26th amendment? What do the results mean for the next presidential election? All of this and more in a fascinating 90-minute presentation. \nCOST \nI ask for a voluntary donation of $5.00. If you cannot afford it or feel my programs are not worth $5.00\, you are invited to come for free; I am struggling but supporting a family\, so I understand with compassion living on a tight budget! \nCash/Check Payable to Barry Bradford \nBarry Bradford \nP.O.
