- We talk plenty about the presidential race on the 538 Politics podcast, but of course, that is not the only thing on the ballot this November. Americans will cast their votes in races for the U.S. Senate and House, as well as dozens of ballot initiatives.
In this installment of the podcast, we’re going on a road trip across the country to cover as many noteworthy downballot races as possible. We start in the 538 podcast studio in New York state, where House Democrats are hoping for a better outcome than their lackluster 2022 performance, and we end in Alaska. Grab your favorite snacks and get in!

"...certain plant-based psychedelic drugs such as mushrooms." Mushrooms aren't plants!
That was a very witty Oregon Trail quip
Mainer here - trust me, pretty much all of us were gobsmacked that Collins won reelection. Her opponent was a fantastic candidate who’d been polling well above Collins for practically the entire cycle… but then she ended up losing by like 6 points. It was quite the upset.
Had we been able to elect Sara Gideon, Biden’s entire presidency would have been very, very different.
Fun format! Wish yall had video.
Visuals would be good for the mapping the trip.
This is fantastic. Love the bit.
I’m surprised you guys didn’t talk about the Nebraska Senate race, which is currently the tightest race in the country.
Ohio?
Imagine actually believing that.
Thanks for continuing to ignore Osborn. If Tester loses and he wins, he’s Kingmaker. And by your own averages, he’s closer.
Like the podcast. But Leaving out Nebraska was a big omission. A senate rate that is surprisingly close, a house race in district 2 that might have a ton of split ticket voting and is highly competitive, and dueling abortion ballot initiatives. More compelling than a lot of the places you went to.
9:20 Come on, Galen, mushrooms are not plants! They are kingdom fungi, not plantae.
One of the more fun episodes for sure. Liked it. Weirdly lots of kids toys ads.
UA-cam thinks half of 538 are kids content, might be leaking to the whole channel
You get to use that 15 on more traffic.
What about Nebraska??
Why is the minimum sample size in order to be included in 538's aggregate only 100? Why do you regularly include data that's literally coming to you from two high school kids pretending to be a polling firm?
Is it possible for two high school kids who are biased towards Trump to conduct valid polls? Yes.
Why not travel by helicopter?
I enjoy your podcast but don’t try to be funny. Doesn’t work.
I liked it
I liked it too
@@PeterBryn It was great, what are you on about?!
