Summary
Jeffrey Lord continues guest hosting for Sean Hannity with journalist Selena Zito, offering a grounded, on-the-ground analysis of the 2026 midterm elections and why traditional political assumptions no longer apply. The conversation explores Pennsylvania’s evolving political map, ticket-splitting voters, and how economic transformation—driven by energy, manufacturing, and AI infrastructure—is reshaping American politics. Zito explains why midterms are no longer predictable, how President Trump’s influence continues to expand in working-class counties, and what both parties may be underestimating heading into the next election cycle.
