The US mid-term elections on 8 November can be considered one of the most important in the country’s history. After a hotly contested campaign, and in a climate of great national polarisation, the results in Congress (House of Representatives and Senate), as well as in state governorships and in key positions in the Administration, may bring about important changes at home and abroad.
