    Abstract

    On 8 November 2022, American voters go to the polls in “mid-term” congressional elections, where the seats of all the members of the House of Representatives and of a third of senators are at stake. Democrats in Congress face real headwinds this year: two-thirds of Americans believe the country is headed in the wrong direction, and high gas prices, rising crime, and concerns about the economy are top of mind for voters. President Joe Biden’s majority in both the House and Senate is clearly at risk and the stakes are high. Assuming the Republicans manage to take one or both houses of Congress, what are the prospects for coherent, effective foreign policy for the rest of Biden’s mandate? What are the possible areas of bipartisan cooperation and how will this affect the Biden administration’s room for manoeuvre in the international space? Furthermore, a Republican-led Congress will be much less interested in co-governing with a Democratic president and more interested in undermining his administration to set the stage for a GOP presidential victory. The discussion will also examine how the election results will affect the Biden administration’s domestic political agenda as presidential elections in 2024 near.
