The event marked the beginning of a two-part series on the Midterm Elections in the U.S. in November 2022, organized and conducted in close cooperation with the Friedrich-Naumann-Stiftung für die Freiheit.

Where Are the U.S. Heading in the Midterms? took place on Election Day, November 8, 2022, as an online event. Dr. Bendix Hügelmann, a political scientist, shared his impressions live from Washington, D.C. in a discussion with Dr. Andrew Denison, Director of the Transatlantic Networks.

Dr. Hügelmann reported on his visit to a polling station, conversations with Americans, politicians, and German journalists. This provided valuable context for understanding and analyzing the upcoming events. The audience asked many in-depth questions and expressed gratitude for the insightful briefing for the days ahead.
