Summary

As Republicans fight to defend their slim House majority, Democrats need to pick up only four seats in November in order to gain control of the lower chamber. FOX News Senior Congressional Correspondent Chad Pergram takes listeners across the country with an inside look into the competitive races that will determine who controls Congress come January. A handful of states will determine this year's election, and Arizona, a red state that flipped blue in 2020, is one of them. Although the Grand Canyon State has elected several Democrats, polls show former President Donald Trump is ahead of Vice President Kamala Harris. Eleven electoral votes are up for grabs and both candidates are eager to get their hands on them. With a little over a week until Election Day, Arizona-based CEO of the political consulting firm HighGround Inc. Chuck Coughlin discusses the current state of the race and shares what voters are most concerned about. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
