YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

There’s no shortage of primaries, runoffs, and special elections setting the stage for the November midterms. So how do we break through the fluff and identify the stories that are really driving voters support for candidates up and down the ballot?

We turn to David Nir, publisher of The Downballot on Substack, who’s been covering election data from national and local races for over 20 years. He stopped by First Draft with Susan J. Demas to recap some results from last night, like the humiliating loss for South Carolina Congresswoman Nancy Mace in her gubernatorial bid to Graham Planter’s win in Maine as he prepares to take on perpetually “concerned” Republican Susan Collins amid his own controversies.
