💨 Abstract

In the Philippine midterm elections, allies of President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. are leading in the Senate races, securing at least half of the available seats. This election is seen as a referendum on Marcos' leadership and a proxy battle with Vice President Sara Duterte, his former ally and now fierce rival. Strong performance by Marcos’ allies suggests enduring support and could secure his pro-U.S. policy agenda.
