Just like voter engagement, 2018 found corporations increasingly active in civic life.
There’s a movement afoot ready-made for national consensus. Everybody is shouting, and no one is listening.īut wait.
#Lame duck qb full
And until then, the lame-duck period is full of political land mines, where anything - any statement, action or decision - promises to provoke both praise and backlash from the fighting factions. But what we do know is that come January, divided government will return, a fitting representation for our bitterly polarized nation. In several districts, votes are still being counted. (For comparison, 83 million voted in 2014.) Voter turnout in the 2018 midterm elections shattered records - an estimated 115 million people cast ballots, the first time a midterm election exceeded 100 million votes. Political engagement has exploded in recent years, spurred by polarizing elected officials and the accessibility afforded by social media. But national unity does exist - it’s just waiting on a change in conversation.
That, it seems, is never-ending these days. A month after Election Day and weeks to go before the new Congress is sworn in, the midterms are all over - except the shouting.
