About the Program

The 2026 midterm elections will determine the balance of power in Congress for the next two years and set the stage for the political dynamics leading into the 2028 presidential election cycle. Currently, the House and Senate are both controlled by the Republicans. Historically, the incumbent president’s party tends to lose seats in the midterms while the opposition party gains seats. Several counterbalancing forces are at play, however, including congressional redistricting and gubernatorial elections. For many, this election is viewed as a referendum on the Trump administration and the current political polarization. In the 119th Congress, we have seen significant changes to the higher education landscape.

Join Education Industry Group attorneys Katherine Brodie and Kristina Gill for analysis of the midterm elections results, the political landscape for the 120th Congress and the regulatory and legislative outlook for higher education.
