Washington policymakers will again navigate a dramatically shifting playing field in 2026, not least because of the midterm elections in November. We can think of no better guide than our very own Neil Bradley to help us understand not only the stakes of the election, but what to expect across the issues that matter most for business.

In this conversation, amid the continued uncertainty, we step back and ask: What will the world actually see out of Washington in 2026, and what does it mean for companies making long-term decisions today? We explore the outlook for tariffs and investment policy, the direction of U.S. leadership and alliances, the evolving debate over AI and innovation, and how domestic policy choices (from deregulation to immigration and tax policy) could shape competitiveness in the year ahead.
