Welcome to this edition of The Mighty. We are right on the eve of the midterm

election. So there is no one else that we'd rather speak to right now at the

Midas Touch podcast than Joe Trippi, a veteran Democratic political consultant.

He's been doing this for about 40 years, beginning with Edward Kennedy's 1980

presidential campaign. Of course he ran both Howard Dean's presidential

campaign and Doug Jones 2017 upset Senate win in Alabama. He also hosts that

Trippi show podcast, which I love. And he is also a member of the Lincoln

project, working to build a pro democracy coalition. Joe, welcome to the

podcast. Man, it's great to be with you guys, particularly on the eve of this

election. How important it all is. So no one knows more about this stuff than you.

That's why I needed to be on this one from my own sanity to make sense of it.

And I'm very, you know, data driven. And I know you are as well looking not just

at the media hype and what they're saying, but what's really going on. So what do

you see right now going into Tuesday? Well, what we all know, it's super, super

close. Tomorrow it's going to, I mean, every single action that everybody is

taking in these last 24 is going to be imperative. I mean, these races are going

to be very tight. I think, I think there's a couple of things so that we can take

from what we do know about all the data. And that is, look, with inflation, with

gas prices, with Biden's approval, being where it is, none of these races

should be close. And there's going back through all the years that I've been

involved. In a midterm with those kinds of numbers, you would expect the kind

of wave that we saw in 2010, where Obama after Obama, here, we lost 63 seats.
