Who controls the Senate, and what impact will it have for the remaining items on the President’s congressional agenda? How have the results changed dynamics in Washington and what are the implications for political compromise? Fall quarter IOP Fellows join Institute of Politics Director David Axelrod for a breakdown of the 2014 Midterms. Join us for a discussion of which candidates won, how they pulled through in a tough election cycle, and what impact this new round of leadership will have on the next few years of American politics and the 2016 presidential election.
