Midterm elections
U.S. elections held midway through a president's term, renewing the House and a third of the Senate, with impact on foreign policy.
Midterm elections are held in the United States every two years, midway through a president's term, electing all House members and a third of the Senate. They often shift the balance of power between parties and can affect foreign policy, including on Iran and the Middle East. In Lebanon, their timing is watched because it may be linked to sensitive U.S. decisions.
