Why are midterm elections historically tough for the party in power?
Historically speaking, midterms are bad for the party in power. But Donald Trump has defied history before, and his party needs him to do so again.
So, what I really want you to do is pretend please that I'm on the ballot. Just come and vote it's so important.
So will the Trump effect help Republicans keep control or will Democrats retake the House, the Senate, state houses across the country in November? You're gonna be held accountable by House Democrats beginning on day one.
Who is hosting the election edition and what will the show cover?
I'm Garrett Haig, Chief White House correspondent for NBC News. Heading into the midterms, I'll be hosting a special election edition of our Here's the Scoop podcast. It's every Saturday from now until election day.
How will affordability, U.S.–Israel policy, and AI shape the 2026 midterm race?
I'll bring on the smartest voices to discuss the top issues, the places, and the players that could ultimately decide control of Congress. We'll talk about Trump, of course, but we'll also dive deep into affordability, how Democrats are threatened. Threading the needle on support for Israel, and how AI is shaping our politics as an issue and as a campaign tool.
