Summer’s here, and Sarah’s taking a break from primary election coverage to take stock of the national political landscape. We haven’t talked to swing voters in a little while about the overall state of the country, and it’s becoming clear that the war in Iran is overshadowing, well, everything. Plus: The post-redistricting U.S. House math for Democrats, and a local issue bubbling up all over the country that explains a LOT about why Americans are so disillusioned.
Sarah kicks this around with one her favorite nerds: Amy Walter, publisher and editor-in-chief of the Cook Political Report.
Note: The discussion of Maine’s Senate race took place BEFORE the June 4 New York Times reporting on Graham Platner.
