This week on Facing the Future, we try to read the tea leaves from an extraordinarily close midterm election result in 2022. It could have a profound impact on what Congress decides to do about funding the government and raising the debt ceiling, two crucial priorities that lawmakers were putting off until after Election Day. We are joined by American University Professor and former Democratic House Budget Committee staff director Tom Kahn, and financial investment advisor Pete Davis who used to staff the Senate Republican Budget Committee.

Today we welcome back Anna Brown, Director of Research and Development at Citizens Count. Anna gives us a breakdown of yesterday's voting results and what implications the outcomes may have in 2024.

The midterms could still go either way. That's the message from Michaeleen Crowell, former Chief of Staff and strategist for Bernie Sanders. She's the rare Washington insider with insights from across the full political spectrum, someone who's seen Democratic and Republican polling and who thinks this election is still up for grabs. Is a Republican sweep possible? Sure she says. But, is a Democratic win possible? Absolutely. Also...why Democrats' accomplishments have gotten buried, and who's been holding the shovel.

Paul interviews Democratic leader Carlos Cardona of Laconia. A rising star in New Hampshire Politics, Cardona talks about growing up in a poor village in Puerto Rico without electricity or running water. After moving to New Hampshire and graduating from Laconia High School, Cardona has devoted himself to political action. As a gay Latino, Cardona has been a powerful advocate for fairness, equity and justice, facing down white supremacists and breaking through political prejudice. He believes the New Hampshire Democratic Party has changed, expanding and accepting a new generation of leaders ready to meet today's challenging times.

In 1984, Ronald Reagan won a landslide re-election as President on a message of economic recovery, despite prices and unemployment being higher than when he took office. This year, President Biden and Congressional Democrats have a record of achievements that absolutely dwarfs Reagan's, and not just on the economy -- though the greatest one year job growth in history is a good start. Yet, you probably haven't heard anything about it. Based on Matt Robison's article for The Editorial Board, former Biden ad-maker Cliff Schecter and Matt go through what that record is, and why the accomplishments that should make this election a slam dunk have been absent from the political conversation.
