29 分钟Hey there, it's Shemitha here.
This weekend, we're bringing you an episode from our special series all about the midterm Elections.
It's hosted by my colleague Gideon Resnick.
So enjoy it.
And remember, go out and vote.
I'm Gideon Resnick, and this is our final special episode, all about the 2022 midterm elections.
So we are just days away from election Day, and already tens, millions of people have cast their ballots.
According to the latest polls, Republicans are heavily favored to gain a majority in the House of Representatives, while the Senate is looking more like a toss up.
So for final thoughts in this home stretch, I sat down with a roundtable of guests who have all been closely following the ins and outs of the campaign.
Amy Walter is the publisher and editor in chief of the Cook Political Report.
Our politics has become much more existential, both sides believing that every election is literally like a matter of life and death.
If the other side wins, America as we know it is going to end.
Aaron Haynes is an editor at large for the 19th, a journalism organization focused on gender, politics and policy.
Well, I say this every cycle, but I think it's going to be true this cycle, too, that women are the deciders of the election.
And lastly, Mike Madrid, a GOP consultant and one of the hosts of the Latino Vote podcast.
There is not a single, not a single competitive Senate race where the Hispanic vote isn't going to be a very large factor in the outcome of the race.
I asked each of them what they're watching in these final days.
Amy kicked us off.
Well, we've had two major theories over the course of this midterm.
One was that it would be like the midterms that we've become used to for at least the past, oh, I don't know, 14, 15, 16 years, which is the party that controls Washington, the party that has the House, the Senate, the White House are at a tremendous disadvantage in that first midterm election.
