Washington at a Crossroads: The 2026 U.S. Midterm Elections and What Comes Next
With the 2026 U.S. Midterm Elections approaching, control of Congress is once again at stake, with potentially significant consequences for the direction of U.S. policy during the second half of President Trump’s term.
Join us for a timely virtual discussion with Jon Decker, White House Correspondent and Senior National Editor for Gray Television, for an insider’s perspective on the political landscape in Washington and the electoral dynamics shaping the November elections.
Drawing on more than three decades covering the White House and American politics, Jon Decker will examine the key congressional races, the issues driving voter sentiment, and the political forces that could determine control of the House and Senate.
The discussion will look beyond the electoral map to explore what different congressional outcomes could mean for policymaking in Washington, including trade and tariffs, economic policy, energy, defense, foreign policy and the transatlantic relationship.
For European and Greek businesses, the conversation will also consider how the post-election political landscape could affect U.S.-EU economic relations, investment, international trade and the broader geopolitical environment.
Among the issues to be discussed:
* Where the race for control of the House and Senate stands
* The states and congressional races that matter most
* The issues shaping American voter sentiment
* How the elections could affect the Trump Administration’s domestic and international agenda
* What the outcome could mean for trade, tariffs, energy and defense policy
* Implications for Europe, Greece and the transatlantic business relationship
* What business leaders should be watching as Washington enters the next phase of the political cycle
