    A MASSIVE Blue Wave Is Coming in 2026… Or Is It?

    Lichtman Live #274 Is a massive Democratic Blue Wave really coming in the 2026 midterm elections—or could the political landscape look very different? With the 2026 midterms approaching, Democrats are hoping to capitalize on growing dissatisfaction with the Trump administration and turn that frustration into major gains in Congress. But history shows that midterm elections can produce unexpected results, and the size of any potential wave will depend on much more than the national political mood. Dr. Allan Lichtman examines the forces shaping the 2026 midterms and asks the crucial question: Is a Blue Wave actually coming? Could Democrats make historic gains—or are expectations getting ahead of the evidence? And what could the answer mean for the balance of power in Washington?

    A GIFT to Putin? Trump’s Controversial Russia Diesel Deal Explained

    Lichtman Live #272 President Donald Trump has struck a controversial diesel deal with Russian President Vladimir Putin, temporarily easing sanctions to allow Russian fuel exports as energy prices remain high. But will the agreement lower costs for Americans—or provide an economic boost to Russia while its war against Ukraine continues? The deal has triggered bipartisan criticism. A group of 12 U.S. senators, including six Republicans, has urged Trump to reverse course, arguing that easing restrictions could benefit Russia financially and weaken the pressure intended to constrain its war effort in Ukraine. There are also questions about the deal’s practical impact. The initial shipment of more than 300,000 metric tons of diesel represents a limited addition to the overall fuel market, and analysts have questioned whether the additional supply can meaningfully reduce prices. The timing is particularly significant because Russia had recently extended restrictions on diesel exports amid domestic fuel shortages and refinery disruptions following Ukrainian drone attacks. On Lichtman Live, Allan Lichtman examines Trump’s agreement with Putin, the debate over Russian energy sanctions, the potential consequences for Ukraine, and the questions surrounding the deal’s benefits for American consumers. Who stands to gain the most from Trump’s Russia deal—and what could it mean for the future of U.S.-Russia relations? 🔔 Subscribe for more sharp insights on politics and history! 📅 LIVE Tuesdays and Thursdays at 9 PM Eastern on YouTube! https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCyQx8dGfgcQ4WUhrKP0ORlQ/join Order Great American Presidents Here: https://www.amazon.com/Great-American-Presidents-Transformed-Presidency/dp/161088731X 📚 Order Conservative at the Core here: https://undpress.nd.edu/9780268210304/conservative-at-the-core/ 👕🫏Check out Dr. Lichtman’s Merch Shop!🐘🧢 https://allan-lichtman.printify.me/ Find all of our links here! 🔗 https://linktr.ee/allanlichtman #Trump #russia #putin #politics #LichtmanLive
