Welcome to The Beat. I'm Ari Melbaugh, and tomorrow marks just two weeks out until these midterms.

As promised, we get right to it.

Democratic Strategist Coates, the Politics War Room podcast, a veteran of many a campaign,

perhaps too many campaigns, some would say. James Carville, you've been around the block. Welcome back.
