"Can Republicans win the midterm elections and keep control of both houses of Congress? It's the biggest political event of the year, and this week Donald Trump kicked off the Republican's campaign in Iowa, telling voters the odds are against him, but Republicans "need to win". The president's chief of staff says this is just the start, and Trump will be campaigning for the midterms as if it were a presidential race because he's good at driving voter turnout."
"In this episode, Sarah and Anthony discuss why the midterm elections matter, what the stakes are, and Republican chances of winning. They're joined by a former campaign adviser to Donald Trump, Bryan Lanza, who sets out why ICE immigration protests and worries over the economy shouldn't stop a Republican victory. We also hear from Mary in Kentucky as we build our own "United States of Americast", finding Americasters in every US state."
Donald Trump launched the Republican midterm campaign in Iowa, acknowledging long odds but insisting Republicans 'need to win'. The president's chief of staff described the kickoff as the beginning of sustained campaigning, saying Trump will treat the midterms like a presidential race to drive voter turnout. A former Trump campaign adviser argued that ICE immigration protests and economic worries should not prevent a Republican victory. A caller from Kentucky offered local perspective while a project collected Americans from every state under a 'United States of Americast' initiative. The stakes of the midterms center on control of both congressional chambers and the potential national political momentum ahead of future elections.
