A storm brews in the U.S. Capitol. After two years of consolidated Republican Party rule in both the legislature and the executive, the American public faces their first chance since 2016 to descend en masse upon the ballots boxes.

The Democrats hope popular dissatisfaction with the current federal government can tip one or both houses of Congress blue. And yet while most polls predict a Democratic takeover of the House, the Senate is looking increasingly out of reach.

The midterms are nearly upon us, and the AmCham Shanghai welcomes interested members to join us in our offices for a CNN live-streaming of the election results the morning of November 7.
