It has reached the level of pressure on allies What is the importance of the midterm elections in the United States? Although President Joe Biden's name will not be on the midterm ballot papers, the midterm elections will provide an opportunity for voters to make a judgment about his presidency, the outcome of which will have a profound impact on the rest of his term and American life over the next two years.  The recent OPEC + decision to reduce production by about two million barrels per day put the Joe Biden administration, which is preparing for decisive midterm elections, in front of narrow options to confront the rise in fuel prices. While Biden and his party are trying to blame the Saudi-led oil alliance, vowing one of Washington's most important allies in the Middle East to fully assess the partnership relationship that has spanned more than seven decades, Riyadh denies intentionally harming the United States by reducing production, and insists that the motive behind its decision is purely economic.  According to a report published by the Wall Street Journal on Tuesday, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia refused to respond to American pleas to postpone the decision to reduce oil production for another month, at a time when President Biden wants to keep fuel prices low before the midterm elections that will be held on the eighth of next November, especially with Democrats are increasingly likely to lose the slim majority in the House of Representatives and Senate.  Although the midterm ballot papers will not include President Joe Biden's name, it will determine which party will control Congress as well as state legislatures and state governors' offices, as well as the first chance for voters to rule on Biden's presidency. Whatever happens, Joe Biden will remain president, but the results could have a profound impact on the rest of his term, and on American life over the next two years.  Midterm elections  Britain's Guardian newspaper has likened the US elections to being like the Olympics. The presidential election takes place every four years in conjunction with the Summer Games: 2020, 2016, 2012, etc. Meanwhile, midterm elections are held every four years in line with the Winter Games: 2022, 2018, 2014, etc. Therefore, the term "mid-term" is an apt name because it occurs in the middle of a president's term.  The US Constitution states that every member of the House of Representatives and about a third of the Senate competes halfway between presidential elections. In next month's elections, all 435 of the House of Representatives seats, 35 of the Senate's 100 seats, and 36 of the 50 state governors will be renewed through voting.  Historically, the incumbent's party has always lost seats in the House of Representatives in midterm elections. Since World War II, the president's party has lost an average of 29 House seats in its first midterm elections for the president, according to the Council on Foreign Relations. A notable exception was George W. Bush, whose period saw Republicans win eight seats in the House of Representatives in 2002, in the wake of the September 11 terrorist attacks.  "For decades, the ruling party has usually expected an alarm bell" in the midterm elections , said Oxford University presidential historian Laura Smith. "Americans tend to vote in a divided government in the midterm elections as a slap in the face for the current president," she added.  Problems facing Democrats  The ruling Democratic Party will contest the midterm elections next month after difficult years passed through the country, punctuated by exceptional circumstances, due to the Corona pandemic and the record inflation wave that followed it, and other sensitive issues that raise controversy, such as abortion.  And while opinion polls show Democrats' fortunes have recovered somewhat after falling fuel prices in the past few months, high inflation and concerns about the economy mean the party still faces an uphill battle for control of both chambers of Congress .  But the recent OPEC + decision and Saudi Arabia’s refusal to respond to Biden’s pleas will prompt Republicans to highlight the failures of the Biden administration, which is facing a hostile political climate, coinciding with widespread frustration as a result of poor economic performance and persistent high inflation and high prices that burdened the middle class and low-income people.  The importance of midterm elections  Whatever happens, Joe Biden will remain president, but the results could have a profound impact on the rest of his term. According to the Guardian , the midterm elections have an additional twist in the plot this time. The elections for governor, secretary of state, attorney general and state legislatures are arguably more important than ever. The winners could have a significant impact on abortion rights, voting rights, and challenges to the legality of future presidential elections.  And if Republicans win the House, the Senate, or both, they would be in a good position to block much of Biden's legislative agenda and seek to turn him into a "lame duck" president. They can launch congressional investigations into Biden's son Hunter and other partisan goals.  With a majority in the Senate, Republicans will also be able to block cabinet and judicial appointments, for example if a vacancy arises in the Supreme Court.  In addition, legislatures in most states control the redistricting of congressional districts to accommodate population changes. The dominant party tends to draw the limits of its own political interest with far-reaching implications for future control of the House of Representatives.
