Why All Eyes Are Suddenly On This Year's Elections
from Political Breakdown · host KQED
It's rare for all eyes to be on an off-year election. This year, however, several state elections have captured national attention — from California's Proposition 50 redistricting measure to governor’s races in New Jersey and Virginia, and a closely watched Democratic Senate primary in Maine. Marisa and Scott talk to Erin Covey, editor of Cook Political Report’s coverage of U.S. House races. They discuss the key races to watch and what it means for the broader political landscape heading into 2026. Sign up for Political Breakdown’s weekly newsletter, delivered straight to your inbox.
