Every two years, you hear the word "midterms," and you're either deeply plugged in or quietly wondering what exactly that means and why everyone keeps saying it like you already know. This episode is for both.
On November 3rd, the midterms decide who controls Congress for the rest of Trump's second term. And whether you get two more years of unchecked Republican power — or something that looks like a wall — comes down to a handful of races and whether the Democratic Party is actually running this right.
I brought in someone who's been inside this work for a long time. Charly Carter is a Democratic strategist, founder of Step Up Maryland, and has worked with the ACLU, Maryland Working Families, and the Democracy Initiative — a national coalition of over 75 labor, civil rights, and environmental organizations fighting for voting rights and civic infrastructure. She knows what it takes to win. And she doesn't sugarcoat what breaks down when they don't.
We get into what the midterms actually mean, why the margin matters as much as the win, whether the Democratic Party is even running the right play, and how the public is responding to two years of unchecked Republican power.
Eight days. Let's go.
