Welcome to the conversation

Welcome to our latest US midterms live Q&A.

With just over two weeks to election day on 3 November, the US economy is top of voters’ minds. Food and gas prices remain high, the job market is unstable, consumers are angrier than ever, and a new Fed chair, Kevin Warsh, took over this year.

A team of business, labor and consumer rights reporters are here to answer your questions about the economy and how it could shape the midterm results. They’ve covered inflation, cost of living increases, tariffs, labor, policy proposals and more.

Joining us on Thursday at 12pm ET on the Guardian US site: business reporter Lauren Aratani, labor reporter Michael Sainato, consumer and corporate rights reporter Heather Timmons, and business reporter Gaya Gupta.
