On November 10, following the November 3 U.S. midterm elections, AmCham The Netherlands, together with AmCham Belgium, hosted a lunch webinar with Ashlee Rich Stephenson, Senior Political Strategist at the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, who joined live from Washington, D.C.
Ashlee shared her analysis of the election outcomes and their implications for the business community, including shifts in voter preferences, economic concerns and the changing balance of power in Congress. The webinar also explored what divided government could mean for future legislation, congressional oversight and trade policy, as well as the potential implications for transatlantic relations. Looking ahead, Ashlee touched on the political landscape leading up to the 2028 presidential elections.
