Show Notes

February 8, 2026; 7am: Republicans are worried about a Democratic blowout in both chambers of Congress. One race they’re focusing on is GOP Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene’s seat in Georgia, where 21 candidates are already on the ballot. Plus, the only Senate Democrat up for re-election this year is Jon Ossoff, who delivered a fiery speech attacking the Trump administration for being out of touch. MS Now Political Analyst Eugene Robinson and Stuart Stevens, Senior adviser at the Lincoln Project, join “The Weekend” to discuss.
