About this episode
The episode discusses the implications of the war in Iran on the GOP and upcoming midterm elections.
Today on the podcast we have new numbers on the battle for Congress in 2026. This is an important one. Historically the president’s party takes a beating in the midterms and the numbers are shaping to support that narrative. Republicans have lost 30 elections since Trump’s term started and the redistricting moves in Texas have seen other states follow suit with the latest vote in Virginia putting Democrats in a position to pick up their own seats. We’ll also factor in the war in Iran and how that is playing into the minds of voters. Has it effectively boxed in the president and GOP? Thanks for tuning in – we’ll see you next week.
