With the stakes of this year’s midterm elections unquestionably high and democratic processes under strain, Guardian US will have a team of reporters and editors across the country covering one of the most consequential elections in recent history. From reproductive rights, climate policy, to inflation, the economy and the very future of American democracy, Guardian US will focus on the critical issues affecting the nation with a comprehensive slate of offerings throughout the day, say the publishers.
Betsy Reed, editor, Guardian US, said: “The upcoming midterms are one of the most significant elections of our lifetime, and with so much hanging in the balance, our newsroom will be laser-focused on delivering timely, compelling coverage of the issues that matter – from the rights of women to control their bodies to the fate of our democracy. The Guardian’s reporting will offer critical context so that our readers and supporters both in the US and globally have the insights they need on election day and beyond.”
According to the Guardian, highlights of the day’s coverage include:
