China is on the ballot in the 2026 midterm elections, and the stakes couldn't be higher. Steve Yates examines how the Chinese Communist Party, fentanyl, farmland ownership, and U.S.-China trade are shaping critical congressional races from Texas to Ohio to Iowa.

With Election Day approaching, Steve previews two major Nation States episodes: Tuesday's breakdown of China's influence on the midterms and the challenges facing the next Congress, followed by Thursday's examination of President Trump's high-stakes Asia meetings, Beijing's growing pressure on Taiwan, and why U.S. arms sales to Taiwan must never become a bargaining chip.
