Republicans keeping both chambers, again, unlikely dipping below 10%.

and the trade for democrats winning the house but republicans keeping the senate that chances of that continue to go down probably because of the swirl of news with the exception of alaska seems to like in ohio and kansas and south carolina point to more higher likelihood that republicans get the senate and therefore the clean sweep All right, next up and joining me now, truly two of the best political minds I'm honored to know, Doug Sosnik, Democratic strategist, longtime advisor to Bill Clinton, and Liam Donovan, president of Targeted Victory and a former senior strategist at the Republican Senatorial Campaign Committee.

Gentlemen, welcome in.

We're going to go through some individual races, but I want to look at what Kalshi has in terms of the predictions on a balance of power.

Those are huge issues and those do have an implication for twenty eight.

So grateful to you both.

Again, these are two of the smartest people you'll find on American politics and both clear thinkers, Liam Donovan and Doug Sosnik.

Gentlemen, thank you so much for being here.

in 2024.

Quote, structurally, the Senate is built to be Republican, and the question is whether this wave can breach that levy, said Liam Donovan, a Republican strategist.

Quote, it is incredibly hard.

Polling, early voting turnout, and the results of recent special elections suggest that Democrats are far more enthusiastic than Republicans this election cycle.

To discuss Congress's reaction to that decision and other top political stories of the week, I am joined by two political pros from both sides of the aisle.

Democratic strategist Matt Bennett, deputy assistant to the president for intergovernmental affairs during the Clinton White House, and Republican strategist Liam Donovan, former regional finance director for the National Republican Senatorial Committee.

Thank you both so much for being here.

Thanks

And that is actually all the time we have.

We've done it.

to discuss how plummeting Latino support for Republicans could impact the midterm elections.

Joining us now, CNN political commentator and Democratic strategist, Maria Cardona, and former National Republican Senatorial Committee aide, Liam Donovan.

To both of you, thanks very much for joining us.

Maria, as you know, a recent Pew Research poll found that Democrats have a 27-point advantage right now over Republicans among registered Hispanic voters in a generic ballot for control of the Congress.

And I think that will be our first tell as to whether or not she's got any real, uh, juice going into the, into the presidential.

All right, Amy Walter, Liam Donovan.

I'm sure we'll see each other again before 2028.

Thanks so much for joining us.
