- U.S. 2022 Primaries For Midterm Election Concludes | The primaries for U.S. 2022 midterm elections ended Tuesday. The results of the midterm elections — a new Congress — could shape the rest of President Joe Biden's presidency. Former Republican President Donald Trump's influence remains strong as 92% of the candidates he endorsed won their primaries. Even without his backing, candidates aligned with Trump have significantly better odds of winning than mainstream conservatives. The Democratic candidates have been dogged by strong inflation, despite Biden's moves to ease inflation and forgive student debt. Observers say since the Supreme Court struck down constitutional protections for abortion, more young people, especially women, are registering to vote, which may favor Democrats.
