Before we head into the presidential election of 2020, there’s a giant unknown hanging over the hotly-contested midterm elections. Seemingly, this election cycle in particular is a constant theme in everyone’s mind. Many of us have several questions that remain unanswered as they imminently arrive. What kind of impact will the midterms have on foreign policy at a national level? Where are we headed with immigration policy? How could this derail the Administration’s policies? Are we headed to a heightened scene of America First like we’ve never seen before?
