Slate Podcasts
About this episode

Even factoring in late-breaking stories in Alaska and Michigan and a reflexive distrust—on both sides—of any polls that look good for Democrats, all signs are pointing to a big day for the opposition party. What’s at stake today—and how worried should everyone actually be?

And join Mary Harris and a team of Slatesters covering the election on Wednesday (11/4) at noon eastern time by signing up here.


Guests:

G. Elliott Morris, pollster, journalist, author of Strength in Numbers substack.

Alan Elrod, president & CEO of the Pulaski Institution, columnist and Contributing Editor at Liberal Currents
