Caren Miosga talk show to discuss US midterm election results

The ARD talk show “Caren Miosga” will air on November 8, 2026, focusing on the consequences of the US midterm elections. The program will address the significant victories achieved by Democrats in both chambers of the US Congress, which have reportedly weakened Donald Trump's domestic political position.

Discussions will center on how these election results impact US foreign policy, including support for Ukraine, the conflict with Iran, NATO, and Trump's tariff policies. The show will also explore whether the results might lead to a relaxation of transatlantic relations or increased unpredictability, and whether pressure on Vladimir Putin might increase during the transition period.

Scheduled guests include former SPD Vice Chancellor Sigmar Gabriel, POLITICO Germany Deputy Editor-in-Chief Annett Meiritz, and former White House Communications Director Ben LaBolt.
