Today Bella learned about the upcoming midterm elections and why they're so important for our government. The midterm elections in the U.S. are one month away and we looked at what's at stake for American politics. We also looked at what is meant by an "October surprise" and how that could influence how Americans vote on November 8th. We looked back at some U.S. presidential elections from the 1970s to present day to view some examples of this "September/October Surprise" in our election process.
