We’re at that moment in the political calendar where it’s all about what could happen. So much of what comes next in Washington hinges on what happens at the polls during the midterms. We’ll look at what we’re hearing from Democrats and Republicans in the final hours of the election cycle. This episode was produced by Connor Donevan and Brianna Scott, with audio engineering by Ted Mebane. Our director is Jonas Adams. It was edited by Rebekah Metzler, Christopher Intagliata and Tinbete Ermyas. Our executive producer is Courtney Dorning.
