"What Just Happened?" Nov. 11 (W) at 3:30pm

[Daniel Lake]

*The Institute for Ethics in Public Life invites you to join us for "What
Just Happened?", a discussion of the midterm election results at 3:30pm on
Wednesday, November 11, in person or on Zoom with special guest Dr. Maggie
Martin, Asst. Prof. of Political Science*


The 2026 midterm election is shaping up to be incredibly consequential.
While pre-election polling indicated it was likely to be a good election
for the Democratic Party, the election night results exceeded expectations.
What led to such a massive victory for the Democrats, and what does it
mean? Was it simply antipathy towards President Trump, or are there larger
lessons to be learned? And how will this affect legislation and policy over
the next two years? Will President Trump moderate some of his domestic and
foreign policies, or double down? Will Congress reassert its prerogatives
against administration encroachment, and engage in real Congressional
oversight of the administration up to and including possible impeachment of
administration officials?


To help us understand the midterm election and its implications we welcome
Dr. Maggie Smith, Assistant Professor of Political Science, to the
Institute.

Please join us in person in the Thomas Moran Seminar Room of the Institute
for Ethics in Public Life (Hawkins 233) or on Zoom (see below).
