Republicans’ Midterm Nightmare Is Hiding in the Numbers | Behind the Numbers w/ Rick & Andrew Wilson

Republicans’ biggest midterm problem may not be the headline polls—it’s what’s hiding underneath them. Rick Wilson and Andrew Wilson break down the numbers shaping the 2026 midterms, including Vivek Ramaswamy’s weakness with older Ohio voters, Sherrod Brown’s path back to the Senate, Jon Ossoff’s growing strength in Georgia, and the Democratic Party’s increasingly favorable House map. They also examine the fallout from Graham Platner’s exit in Maine, why Republicans are suddenly screaming about “communism” again, and the voters who helped return Donald Trump to the White House—but now appear to be done with him.
