Election preview: Trump 2.0’s first big test

On the latest episode of Nir & Rupar, our live weekly video show, David Nir of The Downballot and Aaron Rupar of Public Notice preview all of Tuesday’s top elections — and what they might mean for the midterms.

If you haven’t yet subscribed to The Downballot, which provides unparalleled coverage of the thousands of critical elections below the presidency, sign up below:

David and Aaron discuss:

* Why Democrats are on track to win marquee races in Virginia, California, New Jersey, and New York City.

* Why you should keep an eye on a pair of unusual special elections in Georgia as a possible bellwether for next year.

* Why it’s so important to pay attention to the margin of victory, not just who wins or loses.

And much more! Viewers also asked great questions about some lesser-watched races that we were delighted to answer.

The Downballot will also be hosting an election night livestream covering all the returns on Tuesday night, starting at 7 PM ET, so be sure to tune back in then! The easiest way to participate is by downloading the free Substack app.

Nir & Rupar will be back next week to recap the results on Friday at 2 PM ET!
