Mark Halperin's reported monologue takes you inside the latest state of play on the midterm landscape, explaining why the battle for control of Congress is becoming more competitive and the new emerging issues that could decide the outcome. Mark examines the growing backlash against Big AI, why so many Democratic candidates are running against the "establishment", and which party has the financial edge. Plus, David Bozell joins the show to discuss the persistent influence of parts of the legacy media and why news aggregators like Yahoo News and Apple News are far more influential than you may realize.
