What do Midterm Elections decide in the government?

The people who are in the House and the Senate. If the conditions are right either can be flipped making it so the president will have a harder time passing bills.

How are citizens impacted by Midterm Elections?

They’re a chance to flip or keep both the house and the Senate the same. Instead of giving Trump and republicans free rein and majority in both, the Democrats can make it so it will be a lot tougher for Republicans.

What can citizens do to get people they want to be elected?

Get the word out to other citizens. If a citizen sees something saying “Vote for this person!” the citizen is more inclined to vote for them.

Why do Midterm Elections exist?

So people have a chance to change things in the white house before the president’s 4 years are up. Since people in the Senate and House serve 6 and 2-year terms, some terms end in between presidential votes.

Why is it important for different groups of people to run for government positions?

So there is more diversity. Also, that way everyone has someone they can connect to.
