Why Independent Voters Could Upend the 2026 Midterms
Description
As the 2026 midterm elections approach, prediction markets are showing a dramatic shift in the battle for control of Congress. Founder of Mehlman Consulting and author of The Age of Disruption Substack, Bruce Mehlman, breaks down why the Senate is increasingly in play and how the "Four Ms"—Maps, Money, Mood, and Matchups—are shaping the political landscape.
The intersection of artificial intelligence, law enforcement, and national security is becoming a larger component of the conversation about the emerging technology. Former FBI Supervisory Special Agent Rob Chadwick joins the Rundown to discuss what this integration may look like and how AI is being leveraged to thwart potential deadly attacks, but also how it may help coordinate them.
PLUS, commentary by Dr. Ben Carson, retired neurosurgeon and former 2016 Republican presidential candidate.
