The midterm elections in the United States take place on Tuesday, November 8, when President Biden’s popularity rating is at an all-time low. The Americans are called upon to renew all the seats in the House of Representatives and a third of the Senate. This is the subject of Talk franceinfo. Every evening from 6 p.m., Manon Mella and her guests debate with Internet users on the franceinfo Twitch channel.
Tuesday, November 8, the Americans will choose the parliamentarians who will sit in the House of Representatives, the Senate or in the local assemblies as well as the governors of more than half of the states. According to the polls, the House of Representatives would be won by the Republicans, thus sanctioning the strongly criticized record of President Joe Biden, in particular on the economic level. Will Joe Biden manage to retain a majority in Congress or should we expect a “red wave”, led by Donald Trump?
Corentin Sellin, historian specializing in American politics and Frédéric Carbonne, former correspondent for Radio France in the United States are in the Talk to discuss it. Manon Mella also receives Dominique Simonnet, author of the book The Great Days That Changed America (Editions Perrin, 2021).
To On the eve of the midterm general elections in the United States, Tuesday November 8, the economic context seems unfavorable to the Democratic camp. The mid-term elections are generally unfavorable for the party in power, polls by which American citizens almost systematically sanction the record of the tenant of the White House.
The main concern of American households seems to be the question of their purchasing power, upset by inflation. Republicans blame Joe Biden and Democrats for the price hike. However, the defense of democracy and social issues such as the right to abortion remain at the heart of the debate and could benefit the Democratic camp.
Join us from 6 p.m. Monday to Friday on the franceinfo Twitch channel to participate in Manon Mella’s Talk. An hour of exchange, clarification, debate around topical and social issues.
