Tuesday’s midterm results could help determine what President Trump’s remaining two years in office will look like. On Washington Week With The Atlantic, panelists joined to discuss this and more.

The upcoming elections may be “coming down to Republicans,” Susan Glasser, a staff writer at The New Yorker, argued last night. It’s the “Republicans who believed Donald Trump when he said he was the president of no new wars, who believed Donald Trump when he said prices were going to come down on day one of his administration.”

Joining guest moderator Vivian Salama, a staff writer at The Atlantic, to discuss further: Peter Baker, a chief White House correspondent at The New York Times; Carrie Dann, the managing editor of the Cook Political Report; Glasser; and Asma Khalid, the co-host of The Global Story podcast on BBC News.
