Big Elections in New York, New Jersey, and Virginia
Andrew Walworth, Tom Bevan and RCP White House correspondent Phil Wegmann preview tomorrow’s elections in New York, New Jersey, and Virginia, with an eye to what the results may mean for the 2026 midterms, and whether former President Barrack Obama’s campaign appearances in New Jersey and Virginia will help Democratic turnout. Then, they discuss last night’s 60 Minutes interview with President Donald Trump, including his comments on why he believes GOP senators should vote to end the filibuster. Plus, they look at the RCP Average for President Donald Trump’s job approval rating and the RCP Average for the 2026 generic congressional vote. Then finally, they talk about the Supreme Court, which will hear arguments this Wednesday on Trump’s authority to impose tariffs through executive order. They also discuss Wegmann’s new RCP article on The Heritage Foundation, the Washington-based think tank that is embroiled in controversy after its president, Kevin Robers, came to the defense of Tucker Carlson after Carlson's interview with Nick Fuentes, the 26-year-old white nationalist popular on the far right for his avowedly antisemitic views.
