Will the Midterms Even Matter? | Corey Nathan with Michael Baranowski on The Politics Guys
About this episode
Corey Nathan discusses the implications of the 2026 midterms with Michael Baranowski, exploring the potential outcomes and deeper structural issues in American politics.
Most of us are going to be disappointed. The question is whether that disappointment has to mean paralysis. Corey Nathan recently joined Michael Baranowski on The Politics Guys for a conversation that refuses to offer easy comfort or easy despair. The 2026 midterms are the jumping-off point: what's likely, what's actually at stake, and whether a Democratic wave would change much of anything. But the conversation goes deeper than the electoral map. Structural incentives, uncompetitive districts, the filibuster, the parliamentary rulebook, and the question of where, if anywhere, the green shoots of real democratic renewal are actually growing. This feed drop brings that conversation to the TP&R audience.
