With midterms less than 60 days out, these are the Senate races to watch
With less than two months until the midterm elections, CBS News' Anthony Salvanto and Kyle Kondik analyzed key Senate races and the factors influencing the balance of power in Congress. Salvanto noted that while the economy writ large is important, the impact of trade and tariffs on white, non-college voters—a key demographic for Donald Trump—remains a central question. Kondik highlighted the importance of voter turnout, suggesting that Republicans have gained more lower-turnout voters while Democrats have lost fewer high-turnout voters, and that education correlates with turnout.
The control of the U.S. Senate is at stake in these midterms, with implications for the President's legislative agenda and the direction of U.S. policy for the next two years.
The episode also covers President Trump's super PAC pouring money into Ken Paxton's Texas Senate campaign and the potential impact of the U.S.-Canada trade war on elections in several states.
