    A Tough Week for Incumbents and Senate Surprises

    Amy, Jessica, Erin and Matthew join the Roundtable to unpack a news filled week. First up are Tuesday’s primaries. They go over what the results tell us about the parties going forward, the potential for other competitive primaries, and how risky things may be for incumbents who are looking at competitive races, especially on the House side. Then, they dive into the Texas Senate, and as Amy calls it the “big fat mess” on the Republican side, where allies of Senator John Cornyn are hoping President Trump weighs in on his behalf. Finally - as if the week wasn’t busy enough! - the team takes a look at the surprise announcement from Montana Senator Steve Daines that he is not running for reelection and how that helped to pave the way for the person he handpicked to run in the Republican lane this cycle. **Read "Could an Independent Really Upend a Montana Senate Race?" by Jessica Taylor: https://www.cookpolitical.com/analysis/senate/montana-senate/could-independent-really-upend-montana-senate-race **Read "Voters Are Sick of the Status Quo.

    Texas and North Carolina Senate Primaries Are Tuesday. Here's What To Watch For.

    As promised in our last episode, we're dedicating this one to the Texas Senate primary, which has seen an enormous amount of spending and national media attention. But there's another state with a primary on the ballot this Tuesday - North Carolina. And while Democrat Roy Cooper and Republican Michael Whatley are heavy favorites, polling out last week found Whatley to be still relatively unknown by the Republican electorate in North Carolina. Amy and Jessica fill you in on what you need to know ahead of the contests in both states.

    Texas Primaries Are Next Week: Here’s What To Watch for (House Version)

    The upcoming Texas primary is Tuesday, March 3. While the Senate race is getting most of the national attention - Stephen Colbert hasn't weighed in on any House contests - there are a bunch of important races on the ballot. We'll be watching four incumbent members, two Democrats and two Republicans, who are in serious risk of losing. This week, Amy, Erin and Matthew dig into these contests. And on the Roundtable next week, we'll discuss the Texas Republican and Democratic primaries for the Senate.

    We Are in the Pain Cave of Politics

    Carrie, Amy and Matthew join the Roundtable this week. First, Amy takes a look at Trump's sagging approval ratings among white working-class voters and what that could mean for the midterms. Then, Matthew gives a primer on this year’s races for secretary of state and other election offices that will wield significant influence over how the 2028 and 2030 cycles are administered. And finally, the team discusses which winter Olympic sport they would want to compete in and who would like to experience what it means to be "in the pain cave." **Read Amy's story "Is Trump Losing His Grip on the White Working Class?" here: https://www.cookpolitical.com/analysis/national/national-politics/trump-losing-his-grip-white-working-class** **Read Matthew's story "A Primer on the 2026 Elections to Run American Democracy" here: https://www.cookpolitical.com/analysis/national/national-politics/primer-2026-elections-run-american-democracy** **Check out our new Find A Race tool here: https://www.cookpolitical.com/races** Learn more: www.cookpolitical.com/subscribe

    Understanding NJ-11’s Special Election Results (Which Are Still Too Close To Call). And Redistricting Updates in VA and MO.

    Amy, Erin and Matthew join the roundtable this week to breakdown two big stories. The first is the special election in New Jersey's 11th district, which took place last Thursday evening - and we still do not have a winner. It's the Democratic special election that had a little bit of everything: establishment candidates, the machine backed candidate, a Bernie Sanders candidate, AIPAC special interest money. The team breaks down the different dynamics that went into this race. Then we turn to the latest developments in redistricting, including a brand new map Democrats released in Virginia and an update on why Missouri’s redrawn congressional map remains in limbo.

    It's a Big Year for Gov Races. Here's What You Need to Know in CA, AZ and MN.

    Carrie, Jess and Matthew join the Roundtable to talk races for governor. It’s a big year - there are 18 open races and that number could go as high as 20. Plus, the stakes are high. Democrats could actually win a majority of them for the first time in two decades. The team checks in the latest developments in California, Arizona and Minnesota.

    Is the Administration Backing Down on ICE Politics?

    On the Roundtable this week, Amy is joined by the entire CPR editorial team to make sense of Minnesota. Last Saturday’s shooting of Alex Pretti in Minneapolis by ICE agents has taken on a significant role, not just in our politics, but as a broader cultural moment. It’s a big news story and it seems to be growing only larger - so we wanted to get together to talk about what this means and where we see it going from here. It’s also a fast moving story: we’re going to give you a sense of what we’re thinking right now, knowing news could change soon. We recorded conversation the afternoon of Monday, January 26th. *Check out our new Find A Race tool here: https://www.cookpolitical.com/races** Learn more: www.cookpolitical.com/subscribe

Maybe you already saw it, but we just released a big story outlining 18 changes in our ratings, all moving in the direction of Democrats. Dave, Erin and Matthew get together to discuss those changes, why we made them, and what races we’ll be watching most closely as we inch towards November.
