Summary
With less than 90 days til the midterm elections in November, Charlie is seeing some major red flags pop up that may endanger the path forward for the GOP to win back a majority in Congress. He’s joined by The People’s Pundit, Rich Baris, an expert pollster and longtime friend of the show who helps flesh out what the numbers show us. They talk through turnout, fundraising, polling and much more—including a provocative campaign strategy take that Republican candidates should consider. Next, one of the Republican candidates who absolutely needs to win his race, J.D. Vance from Ohio, joins Charlie to walk through the current state of his race and the priorities that matter to the people of Ohio as well as the American Electorate at large.
