Episode Description from the Publisher

Maricopa County is one of the closest watched parts of the nation heading into the 2026 midterm election. It's one of the largest swing counties in America, in one of the most crucial states for both parties. Democrats are hoping to capitalized on Trump's current low approval rate, but they have their work cut out for them. Republicans are winning the voter registration game and Democrats are still trying to find a way to appeal to voters, especially in a county with a growing population of independent voters. This week on The Gaggle, we're joined by the chair of the Maricopa County Democratic Party to discuss what her party is doing to win back voters ahead of a high-stakes midterm election in November.
