Join IPC tomorrow, November 9 at 11:30 am (EST) for the “Midterm Election Results and What it Means for Our Industry” webinar. Chris Mitchell, IPC’s Vice President for Global Government Relations, and the political team at Prime Policy Group and PSB Research will provide an analysis of the election results, the policy outlook for the next Congress, and the implications for the electronics industry. While the election results suggest multiple narratives, voter apathy was not one of them. The New York Times estimated that 114 million votes were cast in House races, which was up from the 83 million who voted in the 2014 midterm elections.

Some of the significant takeaways that will be discussed in more detail during the free webinar include:

• The 2018 election night was a good night for Democrats
• A strengthened Senate Republican majority is well-poised to advance Trump nominees
• President Trump still knows how to rally his base
• The 2020 elections start now
• Do not expect bipartisan compromise and grand bargains
• IPC is well-poised to advance our priorities
• The policy and political watch for the next 116th Congress
