Abstract

Following midterm elections that saw the Republican Party perform worse than had been generally expected, Phelan US Centre Director, Professor Peter Trubowitz discusses three key takeaways. He argues that despite what many commentators are saying, we should not be quick to view Donald Trump as a spent political force, that the Democrats did well in these elections because they have delivered on socio-economic issues, especially for blue-collar voters in key rustbelt states, and that for the most part, these midterm elections were a good result for democracy.
