2026 Midterm Elections: What Have We Learned & What Comes Next?

What messages were voters trying to send at the federal and state levels? What can Americans expect for governance over the next two years?

Join political scientists Alan Gerber (moderator) and panelists Christina Kinane, Josh Kalla, and pollster Zachary Donnini (Yale ’25, VoteHub) for a conversation about the 2026 midterm election results. We will provide analysis of election data, discuss the composition of the 120th Congress, preview agenda items for lawmakers, and talk about the governance implications for how the new Congress might interact with the administration. We will also take time to answer audience questions.
