What are midterm elections?

US midterm elections happen halfway through a president's four-year term. They determine who controls Congress and often reflect public sentiment on the current administration. Anthropic's IPO timing, ahead of these elections, might be strategic to avoid market volatility or to capitalise on a potentially stable period before political uncertainty.
