The second half of our Election Series takes us to the national stage. From coast to coast, the 2026 races are already shaking up the map — and the stakes couldn’t be higher.

In this episode, we break down the storylines shaping the federal battlefield: the NYC mayoral showdown, the California governor’s race, and key Senate matchups in Georgia, North Carolina, and beyond. Plus — what’s really going on with the House, and why are both parties rebranding before voters even head to the polls?

Joined by Austin, we go beyond headlines to look at what these contests reveal about the country’s political direction, polarization, and the paths both parties are taking into 2026.
