Charlie BrennanHOST
I didn't bring this up in the meeting beforehand, but the, uh, the polls show that Ann Wagner is in a sta- statistical tie with Fred Wellman.
Charlie BrennanHOST
This is Ann Wagner, who's in a deeply red district.
Charlie BrennanHOST
Fred Wellman, the Democrat, is close.
Charlie BrennanHOST
Now, I don't know if the polls are accurate.
Matt RobisonHOST
I'll do one too.
Matt RobisonHOST
Former guest, former executive director of the Lincoln Project, Fred Wellman running in Missouri too against Ann Wagner, a seat that Trump won by 11.4 percentage points in 2024.
Matt RobisonHOST
I think Fred's going to pull it out.
Seth MasketGUEST
Okay.
Rick WilsonGUEST
...
Rick WilsonGUEST
LP alumni, suddenly in a tie race with Ann Wagner, who was in an R plus 11 district.
Rick WilsonGUEST
Suddenly she's up and running a- away from Trump, but- but it's not working anymore.
Rick WilsonGUEST
These guys are everywhere.
Mark BlandHOST
... a lot better.
Mark BlandHOST
But the congresspeople will stay home, and then we'll all be like Ann Wagner.
Mark BlandHOST
They...
Mark BlandHOST
And, and Ann Wagner and people like that are-
Jason KullHOST
Yeah
Mark BlandHOST
...
Mark BlandHOST
...
Mark BlandHOST
I, I want you to know something.
Matt RobisonHOST
Yeah, Kansas City.
Matt RobisonHOST
The other district that's affected here, by the way, is for people who are sub-stackers and longtime listeners of the show, you probably know Fred Wellman, former executive director of the Lincoln Project, who's running against Ann Wagner in Missouri's second congressional district and who, with the un-gerrymandered map, had a pretty decent chance.
Matt RobisonHOST
He's got a real chance.
Matt RobisonHOST
With the gerrymandered map, pretty rough.
Shane SchoellerGUEST
let's say
Elijah HaahrHOST
for the fifth congressional, where are they even advertising? If I'm a manual cleaver, and I don't feel that bad, but if I'm in, am I advertising in Kansas City or am I advertising in mid-Missouri? If I'm Ann Wagner, which counties am I focusing my ads on? Because I don't know.
Elijah HaahrHOST
The other
Shane SchoellerGUEST
challenge was a lot of these districts have both congressional districts in those counties, so they're going to see both ads.
Miles ParksHOST
Now it's considered solidly Democrat to the point where Kamala Harris won that district by twenty points, uh, in twenty twenty-four.
Miles ParksHOST
But the thing that people aren't talking about, uh, is the second district, the district that's, that's held by Ann Wagner.
Miles ParksHOST
That is a district that was redrawn in the twenty twenty-five redraw to be safer for Republicans, to move it from a Trump plus eight district to a Trump plus eleven district.
Miles ParksHOST
And so now that is, that is really in play when you think about those forecasters you were talking about.
Fred WellmanGUEST
That's what they're trying to do.
Fred WellmanGUEST
Now for my district specifically, The new map gave Ann Wagner, my opponent, about three points, you might say.
Fred WellmanGUEST
It essentially went from Trump 8 to Trump 11.
Fred WellmanGUEST
She was really counting on that.
6 MINS LATER
Fred WellmanGUEST
There's plenty of processes to get the right nominee in place.
Fred WellmanGUEST
The only reason they're howling is because they thought for sure they were getting rid of Emanuel Cleaver.
Fred WellmanGUEST
They thought for sure they were going to save Ann Wagner one more time.
Fred WellmanGUEST
And I'm telling them no.
Fred WellmanGUEST
That's what they're trying to do.

Jamie RaskinGUEST
In Missouri,
Scott MacFarlaneHOST
Democrats think they have a chance at plucking the Republican-held seat in suburban St. Louis, the seat held by Ann Wagner.
Scott MacFarlaneHOST
That's an addition to the seat in Kansas City that Emanuel Cleaver currently represents, but that was salvaged for Cleaver through the Supreme Court's decision to overturn or not stop the overturning of Missouri's 2026 map.
Scott MacFarlaneHOST
Elsewhere, I'm watching the courts.
