About this episode

The episode discusses the 2026 Senate midterms, the politics of regulating AI, ethics violations of Congress members, and a proposed bipartisan panel to remove the President.

Andrew Walworth, Tom Bevan and Carl Cannon discuss the 2026 Senate midterms in Maine, Texas and other states, and what those races say about who is the true leader of the Democratic Party right now. Then, RCP contributor Richard Porter joins the guys to discuss his article on the front page of RCP today on the politics of regulating artificial intelligence. Next, they talk about the political futures of two members of Congress from Florida who face possible expulsion over ethics violations: Republican Corey Mills who is being investigated by the House Ethics Committee for allegations of dating violence and campaign finance violations, and Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick who is charged with stealing $5 million in disaster relief funds. And finally, they discuss House Democrats introducing a bill on Tuesday to create a bipartisan panel with the power to remove the President under the the 25th amendment.
