S15 EP178: Hour 1 - The Midterm Debacle
Summary
Erickson analyzes midterm polling, arguing that while Democrats lead on the House, the GOP’s Hispanic voter deficit is narrower than feared due to significant gains since 2022. He highlights that cost of living and corruption are the primary issues driving voter discontent, noting that Republican strategists are increasingly alarmed by the potential loss of the Senate. The episode also covers Ken Paxton’s struggling Texas campaign, the president’s controversial doxxing of Senator Tom Cotton, and Erickson’s personal travel mishaps.
