Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Episode 82: Final 2026 Midterm Predictions w/ Erin Covey & Kirk A. Bado
Q: What is your sleeper race?
The panel names Wyoming, the Oregon governor's race, the Mississippi Senate race, North Carolina's 13th District and Texas's 23rd District, citing candidate weaknesses, spending and favorable electoral conditions.
Episode 82: Final 2026 Midterm Predictions w/ Erin Covey & Kirk A. Bado
Q: What has been the biggest surprise of this election cycle?
The panel cites the competitiveness of the Kansas Senate race, the scale of redistricting and campaign spending, the unexpectedly uncompetitive North Carolina Senate race, and Steve Daines's departure from Montana's Senate race.
Episode 81: Inside Election Administration w/ Nathaniel Rakich of Votebeat
Q: What could disturb the election process in November according to election experts?
Experts indicated that the most plausible concerns are the potential presence of federal agents at polling places and general intimidation, but that these scenarios are unlikely to determine outcomes; the larger risk remains in close races and legal interpretations surrounding election administration.
Episode 78: FLORIDAY Primaries w/ Marianna Sotomayor of Puck News
Q: What did you make of the Nixon vs. Vindman result and what does it mean for the general election?
The result signals that local organizing and incumbency-style familiarity can beat higher-profile name recognition, and it may indicate a need for more robust on-the-ground campaigning to win in November against Moody.
Episode 79: Congressional Women's Softball Game + Midterms w/ Tamara Keith of NPR
Q: Before we get into the rest of the episode, what are the headlines?
Tamara Keith outlines key midterm dynamics, including polling, campaign spending, and the role of Trump's involvement in shaping races, with a focus on Texas, Pennsylvania, and California. Audience can expect discussions about how convention momentum and demographic swings influence outcomes.
