US and European Policy Implications of the 2026 US Midterm Elections

Given the critical importance of the 2026 U.S. midterm elections, we are offering two different webinars on November 5, 2026 for participants in the U.S. and Europe. 

You may register for either or both sessions.

Please join former U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder and other leading former senior government officials from Covington’s bipartisan global public policy team for one or both of our off-the-record post-election briefings on what the U.S. midterm results could mean for businesses in the United States and Europe.

Webinar 1: Policy Implications for the U.S. 

• How will the election reshape the balance of power between Congress and the White House?
• What will the results mean for the legislative and regulatory agenda for the next Congress, including for the technology and life sciences sectors?
• How might the elections impact the political landscape ahead of the 2028 election? 
• Could the new Congress change the direction of U.S. trade and tariff policy, and what might be the impact on national security priorities?
• How might congressional investigations and oversight priorities change?
• Which key policy areas could face the greatest regulatory changes or enforcement uncertainty?

Webinar 2: Policy Implications for Europe   

• What do the election results mean for the transatlantic relationship?
• How might the results affect transatlantic cooperation on such policy areas as technology/AI and life sciences?
• Could U.S. national security and foreign policy priorities shift, including toward NATO, Ukraine, and Iran?
