With the midterms just weeks away, the fight for control of Congress is only half the story. The other half is the fight over the vote itself. We will have briefings on both. Jefrey Pollock, Democratic pollster and Founder & President of GSG, joins us for an urgent look at the battleground races, the possibility of a blue tsunami, or where the GOP still may hold sway. Michael Waldman, President of the Brennan Center, will give us the latest on the threats to a free and fair election, from obstruction to purged rolls to pressure on the people who count the ballots, and possible interference during voting and on January 3. So much is at stake for American democracy in November.
