Making sense of the midterms, every week in your in-box.

Which ideas will define this year’s midterm elections? How will candidates run against, or in support of, President Trump? How will Democratic voters respond to new faces on the campaign trail, and new arguments about key issues? Which scandals matter, and which are just election-season noise? And what’s at stake in the outcomes?

This fall, The New Yorker’s Midterms 2018 newsletter will explore all of these questions. Every week, our writers and editors will tell you what’s happening across the country, and why it matters.
