Decision Desk ‘26 midterm preview, powered by 2WAY and The Hill
Developed over time first seen 4 days ago
A special edition of “The Morning Meeting” brought together 2WAY, NewsNation and The Hill on Sunday 1 November for a preview of the US midterm elections. The programme examined key House of Representatives and Senate races as candidates made their final appeals before voting on 3 November. Control of Congress was at stake, giving the discussion a focus on which contests could determine the balance of power in Washington.
The live programme was scheduled for 7pm Eastern Time and gave viewers a chance to ask questions after registering through 2WAY. Mark Halperin said the discussion would include an interview with California Governor Gavin Newsom, an appearance by Representative Mike Lawler and reports from the campaign trail. It was the last special edition of “The Morning Meeting” before election day; the preview was an opportunity to assess the races, rather than a report of election results.
