US midterm elections

US legislative elections held midway through a president's term, covering both the House and Senate, and influencing foreign policy.

US midterm elections are held every four years midway through a president's term, electing all members of the House of Representatives and one-third of the Senate. These elections determine the balance of power in Congress and affect the president's ability to pass policies, including foreign policy. In the context of Lebanon and the Middle East, their results may lead to changes in the US approach to the region.
