Are Republicans headed for a midterm election disaster, or could President Trump's last-minute push deliver a stunning Election Day surprise? Lisa Boothe sits down with Sentinel Action Fund's Jessica Anderson for an inside look at the early voting numbers, Republican turnout challenges, and critical Senate races that could decide control of Congress in the 2026 midterm elections.

President Trump's drug czar Sara Carter joins Lisa Boothe for an explosive conversation about America's fentanyl crisis, the administration's crackdown on powerful drug cartels, and the battle to stop deadly narcotics from flooding American communities.

Closing Remarks and Acknowledgments

Are Republicans heading for a midterm election disaster, or are the polls getting it wrong again? Lisa Boothe sits down with RealClearPolitics co-founder and president Tom Bevan for an eye-opening breakdown of the 2026 midterm elections, the battle for control of Congress, and the Senate races that could determine the balance of power in Washington.

Bevan explains why Republicans face an uphill battle to hold the House, why Senate control could come down to Alaska, and how critical races in Texas, Iowa, Michigan, Minnesota, and North Carolina could reshape the political landscape. They also examine Donald Trump's impact on political polling, Republican voter enthusiasm, potential polling bias, and why traditional election models may no longer tell the whole story.

With Democrats hoping for a blue wave and Republicans fighting to avoid major losses, Bevan reveals the early election night indicators he'll be watching and explains why the results could surprise both parties.

Will Republicans defy the polls and hold the Senate, or is a Democratic takeover on the horizon?
