USSC Director of Economic Security Hayley Channer spoke with Bloomberg about the geopolitical trends impacting the US midterm elections, highlighting the economic factors driving polling trends, saying, "All the things [President Donald Trump] campaigned on, he has now reneged on: no new wars, lower inflation, lower prices, lower gas. And so now the public is seeing that contradiction." She also notes the impact on Australia and how Australia can bolster its economic resilience.
