Midweek Madness: 2026 Midterms
Description
Got a question for the boys?!?
About a week from the November 3 midterms, Jeezy and Manny (Chuck is out this week for family matters) say policies are optional and the drama is mandatory. They take on the Ramaswamy ad featuring Amy Acton’s estranged mother and where campaigns draw the line, Abdul El-Sayed’s calm answer to the attacks on him in Michigan, the Susan Collins and Troy Jackson fight in Maine, and the Justice Department’s pre-election lawsuit over Alaska’s two Sullivans. Manny makes his case that Trump is headed for a lame-duck term, with reads on the Senate and Texas.
The Pickle of the Week goes to Virginia state Sen. Louise Lucas, who is indicted and says she is not resigning (allegations, not convictions).
The joint Spotlight: Israel’s election as the votes come in. Plus North Carolina’s early-voting deadline, election-night plans, and Manny’s Top Host ask.
