With the midterm elections less than 90 days away, the discussion looks at the political landscape facing President Trump and Republicans, including concerns about the economy, control of Congress and voter turnout.
The conversation begins with a Financial Times poll reporting that most U.S. voters say they are worse off under President Trump. The hosts discuss how inflation, the cost of living, gasoline prices and the war in Iran could influence the way Americans vote, even when responsibility for economic conditions can't be placed entirely on the person occupying the White House.
They also examine why control of the Senate could have consequences well beyond a single election cycle. Because the Senate confirms federal judges nominated by the president, maintaining a Senate majority could affect the federal judiciary for years to come.
The discussion then turns to voter participation, especially in elections that receive less attention. Low turnout can have an enormous impact on local races, and today's school board members can become tomorrow's state legislators or members of Congress.
The hosts also point to Ohio, where concerns about Republican turnout and the governor's race could signal broader political changes ahead of the 2028 presidential election.
For voters looking for information about candidates, voting records, registration and upcoming elections, the program also highlights AFA's iVoterGuide as a resource for researching the entire ballot.
Pray for our leaders, learn about the candidates and don't overlook the races farther down the ballot.
