Next Up with Mark Halperin · What Campaign Spending Reveals About the 2026 Midterms · 22 Sep 2026 podcast

If you think that the only competitive districts are ones where Trump won two years ago by less than 10, you're wrong, okay? voice-verified

Republicans, the biggest tell always is where are they spending money, right? voice-verified

They're spending money in Republican-held districts so red that Trump won them by double digits. voice-verified

And then there's a quote from a national Republican pollster. voice-verified

I actually think even though the pollster is not identified, I think I might know who it is because this language sounds familiar. voice-verified

This person says, the map is hilariously big right now. voice-verified

That's the key. voice-verified

That's the most key thing. voice-verified

They say hilariously, kind of sarcastically. voice-verified

If you're a Republican strategist and you have data, what you're seeing is voice-verified

States at the Senate level, like Kansas and South Carolina, and maybe others are in play. voice-verified

And what you're also seeing is these House races where the president won the districts easily are also in play. voice-verified

So these quotes are significant because they show that Republicans now are playing more defense than they had hoped to be playing regionally, okay? voice-verified

Then let's look at this. voice-verified

This is from a member of my two-way community. voice-verified

This is F9, please. voice-verified

Someone who wrote in – I'm not going to identify the person or where they live, but here's what they said. voice-verified

I'm going to read not the whole thing but a lot of it to you because it gives you an idea anecdotally of what I'm hearing across the board. voice-verified

And this goes to the question of Republican – Trump voters will turn out to vote or maybe even vote Democratic. voice-verified

But Trump voters, President Trump at the convention said, vote like I'm on the ballot. voice-verified
