It’s Election Day in the U.S. Americans across the country head to the polls to cast their vote in this year’s midterm elections. Much is at stake for the Biden administration: Republicans are poised to take control of the House of Representatives, if not both houses of Congress.
What are the issues motivating
Americans to vote (or not)? A month after we at the Eurasia Group
Foundation released its
annual survey
of Americans’ foreign policy views,
EGF’s Caroline Gray and Lucas Robinson traveled to Pennsylvania, the site of one of
this year’s fiercest Senate races. Caroline and Lucas spoke with
Pennsylvanians in Kennett Square, the self-proclaimed mushroom
capital of the world, and West Chester to hear about the issues
they care about most. Though foreign policy is not at the top of
most Americans’ minds when they cast their ballot, they have a lot
to say about the war in Ukraine and how much of America’s tax
dollars should be spent on defense.
