AEl's daily publication of independent research, insightful analysis, and scholarly debate Reuters One year out, setting the stage for the 2018 midterm races Karlyn Bowman and Eleanor O'Neil | AEI Virginia and New Jersey voters went to the polls yesterday in two of the first statewide elections following Donald Trump's surprising 2016 victory. With the much-anticipated 2018 midterms a year out, let's look at the landscape. There are 34 Senate contests next November, with Democrats holding 23 of those seats. Republicans, for their part, will need to defend 24 of 35 governors' mansions and 239 House seats. Nearly all polls give Democrats Sierra Club v.

It.... may not be efficient to redistribute money from high-income taxpayers to low-income taxpayers, but it does lead to a more equitable society. So how does the Republican tax plan, in its current iteration, perform on those key metrics? The biggest boost to household incomes is expected to come from the private sector through corporate tax reform. Sierra Club v.

A busy weekend indeed, and Middle East watchers worldwide seized the opportunity to gossip wildly. So what does it all mean? MORE FROM AEI A real strategy for success in Libya America needs a new policy in Libya. The current approach is failing and will likely leave a permanent safe haven for the Islamic State and al Qaeda on Europe's southern border. This future will strengthen the global Salafi-jihadi movement, facilitate further attacks against the US homeland and Europe, and require a perpetual American counterterrorism campaign in Libya.
