The 2026 Midterms and the Road to 2028: Understanding the Agendas Shaping America's Future

The midterm election on November 3, 2026 is already touching your life — in your health-insurance premium, at the gas pump, and in your rent or mortgage. This non-partisan civic-education course gives you the verifiable record and the tools to judge every agenda for yourself.

Across 8 lessons (about 37 minutes): Where we stand — the current administration's record; What's at stake in the midterms — House and Senate math, the battleground races, redistricting; The policy battles — healthcare and your wallet, immigration, security, and the economy; The road to 2028 — candidates, early signals, and the structural challenges no party has solved; The citizen's toolkit — media-literacy skills and an action plan: verify your registration, know your ballot, fact-check any claim yourself.

Every fact is sourced to named publications and date-stamped as of September 2026. Each side's positions are presented in their own words, with attribution. No endorsements, no predictions presented as fact — polls are always reported as polls, with dates.

Instructor: Navindra Ramdeen, DO — physician and medical communications leader.
