  • It's great to have the band back together! Listening to Nate and Claire talk is like having my political math brain talking to my political emotional brain.

    It's required listening for any political junkie, strongly recommended for everyone else.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

8: What South Carolina and the Early Vote Tell Us About the Midterms
Q: What is your view of which way the early-vote data leans if forced to choose?
They see several encouraging signs for Democrats, including high Black turnout in Georgia and North Carolina and strong Hispanic turnout in Texas, while emphasizing that ballots do not reveal vote choice and turnout patterns remain in flux.
8: What South Carolina and the Early Vote Tell Us About the Midterms
Q: In your view, which races are not getting polled enough this cycle?
The hosts point to Minnesota and Kansas, with Galen Druke also highlighting Nebraska because it has had no October public polls and only limited earlier polling.
6: What Could Still Change Before the Midterms?
Q: Is this midterm closest in modern times to 1974 perhaps? Republican corruption, bad economy, including high unemployment, high gas prices, etc.
Galen Druke notes that the 1974 elections brought large Democratic gains and post-Watergate reforms, while Nate Silver considers it a reasonable comparison for the prospect of a Democratic win. They caution that today's political conditions are unlikely to produce the same scale of gains or reforms.
6: What Could Still Change Before the Midterms?
Q: Why aren't the Epstein files a bigger issue in these midterm elections?
The hosts say the story may contribute to declining enthusiasm among some Trump supporters and reinforce perceptions of broken promises, but its most attentive followers are already likely to vote Democratic. They see no decisive evidence in the files and say material concerns remain more influential.
