Highlights
- Just as it did last year, the United States remains greatly divided along party lines, with Democratic states pushing back against a Republican federal government.
- The disputes remain largely unchanged, however, with certain issues stretching well beyond U.S. borders and domestic concerns — with potentially global implications.
- The midterm elections may shift the balance of power in one or both chambers of Congress.
- Regardless of the outcome, however, states such as California will continue to attempt to counter federal policy for at least the next two years.
