The University of Maryland School of Public Policy's Faculty Lens video series shares expert perspectives on the forces shaping local, national and global policymaking. Each episode spotlights policy faculty discussing a timely issue, policy challenge or emerging global development, translating their research and expertise into accessible insights for students, alumni, policymakers, media and the broader public.
In this Faculty Lens, Associate Professor Niambi Carter examines the key issues shaping the 2026 midterm elections and what the results could mean for U.S. public policy. She discusses voter concerns about the economy and immigration, the potential for political gridlock and how shifting congressional power could affect the federal policy agenda.
