Summary
Here's a preview of another podcast, Here's the Scoop from NBC News. Democrats racked up big political wins in New York, New Jersey, and Virginia this year with a laser-focus on affordability, despite President Trump touting an “A+++++” economy. Now, heading into 2026, the question is: Whose message will be more compelling to voters in the November midterms? And what impact will that have on the administration? Here’s the Scoop host Yasmin Vossoughian takes stock of politics in 2025 with NBC News Chief Data Analyst Steve Kornacki and Chief Capitol Hill Correspondent Ryan Nobles and looks ahead to 2026, the midterms and more.
