Previewing the 2026 Midterms and What It Could Mean for Student Aid
Thursday, 29 October, 2026

This week on "Off The Cuff," Melanie is joined by Nalia to preview the 2026 midterm elections and what that could mean for student aid policy just a few days before Election Day. First, the team details how the makeup of Congress could change with the midterm elections, including House and Senate education leadership. From there, the team debriefs potential priorities of the new Congress, and what could happen during the lame-duck session before the new Congress is sworn in. The team ends the discussion with a debrief of NASFAA's advocacy efforts in Congress.
