Episode Description from the Publisher

With less than 70 days until the midterm elections and control of Congress at stake, shifting power rankings are turning once-safe seats into high-stakes toss-ups. Republican Media Consultant Alex Castellanos and Democratic Strategist Matt Bennett debate whether a rising wave of Democratic Socialism will energize conservative voters or if backlash against President Trump will tip the balance to Democrats.  They also analyze pivotal Senate matchups across the country, examining how primary battles and controversial candidates in states like Texas, Michigan, and Massachusetts could redefine the political landscape.  Learn more about your ad choices.
