LN 102426 Elections in Overdrive

Hello and welcome to Liberty Nation Radiohead Coast to Coast on the Radio America Network.

I am, as ever, your host, Mark Angelides.

And we are joined once again by a Liberty Nation senior political analyst and longtime host of this here radio show, Mr. Tim Donner.

Thanks for being with us, Tim.

Hello, Mark.

Good to be here.

So, Tim, again, we have to talk what's happening in the run up to the midterm elections, because I don't know, to me, Tim, it seems like certain sands are shifting.

And now just to frame this, and I'd love your feedback on this.

What we've had for the last couple of months is, well, that the House is a certainty to flip to Democrats.

The Senate wasn't.

But then it started to look like it was.

However, I'm thinking that based on polling number, polymarkets, betting markets, things like that, I'm thinking it's going to be far, far closer.

What's your take on the, let's call it the zeitgeist of the electoral landscape?

Well, I still think that the Democrats are likely to pick up, let's say, somewhere between 20 and 30 seats in the House.

Sure.

But I think those gains could have been even larger were it not for the Democrats own image problems.

You know, they were built over the four years of the Biden administration and have not gone away.

They have not tacked to the center.

They have not even admitted that anything that was done during that time was wrong.

The closest thing was AOC saying, well, 1.0 was crazy.

You know, like, oh, well, thanks for letting us in on the joke.

You know, but essentially they haven't changed anything.

So it's not like people are dying to vote for the Democrats, but they are in greater numbers dying to vote against Donald Trump.

And you have to see this coming in some sense, because.

You know, there is no metric on this.
