Midterms in America: Told Through Photos

Midterms in the United States serve as an opportunity for the citizens to decide about whether the current administration is performing adequately. President Joe Biden was not on a ballot this year, but the countless members of the senate and the house of representatives who make his legislation possible were. Midterms have in the past flipped the balance of power among the two houses of congress, and without a doubt these ones will have a great effect on the remaining two years of Joe Biden’s presidency. The story of the midterms is not one that can only be told by words, certain visuals also convey the same patriotic energy present around thousands of voting locations across the nation. The pictures taken by Lauren Cote below are meant to capture the essence of modern election cycles and show some common visuals often present.
