The Orion Policy Institute's Colin Pascal argues that the midterms will be decided by voters who choose what they believe to be the lesser of two evils, not by individuals who identify themselves as a particular political brand. This is a sign of America's broken politics, as a political party with a approval rating is poised to take control of the House. The author argues that this is not due to support for the Democrats, but the popularity of President Trump has driven the outcome. The current two-party system, which allows the president to control the presidency, is not working well, and voters are beginning to recognize this failure. The article also notes that independent and third-party candidates are taking shape, with the Forward Party promising to represent a range of different parties.
