One year into President Trump's second term, all eyes are on the 2026 midterm elections. Michael Smerconish is joined by David Wasserman, senior editor and elections analyst at the Cook Political Report with Amy Walter, to break down what the numbers really say about the fight for Congress. From shrinking battleground districts and independent voter drift to inflation, immigration, and the limits of a potential Democratic wave, Wasserman explains why 2026 may look very different from past midterms—and why even a modest seat shift could change everything.

Like many of you, I am constantly thinking about what's going to happen in the 2026 midterms, which if you can believe it, are less than 10 months away. Unfortunately, we don't have a crystal ball. And if there's one thing we learned from 2024, it's that polls can be wrong. What we do have is data, which can predict which candidates have the best chance of winning and which districts are going to be the closest. That's why on this episode of The Siren Podcast, I had the honor of being joined by Brian Derrick, co-founder and CEO of Oath Vote. Brian and his team have created a brilliant new way to forecast which races across the nation donations can have the maximum impact in. Brian believes that political fundraising as it stands today is broken, with good-intentioned donors wasting millions on long-shot races or safe seats, when instead, that money would be better spent on a candidate running in a closer district who might not enjoy the same national stardom as other candidates. With more strategic donations leading up to the midterms, Democrats will be gearing up for a historic blue wave in 2026. All the most encouraging are the 18 House districts that recently shifted towards Democrats, according to the nonpartisan Cook Political Report, which projected that Democrats have “more than enough opportunities” to win 218 seats, a majority in the House this November. On this episode, we discuss which of these races are the closest as they stand, which exciting new candidates need support the most, and the status of the electoral battleground for the House and the Senate in 2026: Are Republicans in for a generational electoral loss in November?
