On this episode of the Chuck ToddCast, Chuck explores the frustrations of the “mainstream middle” in red states and why Democrats can't seem to reach them, even as discontent with the country grows. From the poisonous information ecosystem that radicalizes voters to the outsized influence of social media and big tech money in Washington, the conversation digs into how extremism thrives while moderation is punished. Chuck also examines the rise of independents, the possibility of a third-party shake-up, and how redistricting battles in California, Missouri, and Georgia could reshape the political map. With major races in New Jersey and Virginia looming, and Democrats struggling to find the right message, the episode highlights both the dangers and the opportunities in an increasingly unsettled political landscape.Finally, Chuck gives his ToddCast Top 5 states that could elect an independent candidate to the U.S. Senate and answers listeners' questions in the “Ask Chuck” segment.Got injured in an accident?

Rasmussen remarks that this it is “partly a factor of the Democratic Party moving so far to the left.” But also that the Independent Senator is part of the “broader trend” of party politics, that unlike a few decades ago, now “all the way down to the state legislative level, if your state legislative district votes for Republican, you probably have a Republican rep.
