  The Midterm Board: Michigan Rising, Georgia Stalling, Maine Holding

  Aug 1, 202632 min

  Matt Towery and John Hall put the midterms on the board — and the GOP is not where the money says it should be. Matt has a poll in the field he hasn't released, and what's in it drives the whole hour: the war is the midterm issue nobody is polling, the party is sitting on a war chest with nothing on the air, and the Senate map still comes down to three states. John makes the case that the socialists care no longer a fringe, that the big beautiful bill is the best-polling thing nobody will campaign on, and that the networks decided which stories the country got to hear about last week. Then the board: the winners, the losers, and one 21-year-old who beat the best player in the world in his third start as a pro.
