In this episode, Brian Tate, the IPA’s CEO, talks about the possible outcomes in the Midterm elections and what that might mean for the payments industry.
He covers what happens if the Democrats win enough seats to control the House of Representatives, the Senate, or both. He also discusses what might happen in the lame duck session, and why the payments industry needs to keep its eyes on the regulators that are part of the executive branch.
This podcast was recorded on October 22, 2026. Things may have changed by the time you hear it.
As Brian mentioned the IPA will be working to prepare a briefing to help our members prepare for the outcomes of the Midterms as soon as the results are in.
