Show Notes

November 2, 2025 7am: The two off-year races for governor in New Jersey and Virginia mark the first major electoral tests of Donald Trump’s agenda, and could offer an early glimpse of what’s ahead in next year’s midterms. In Virginia, Democrat and former Congresswoman Abigail Spanberger holds a commanding lead in the latest polls. In New Jersey, on the other hand, Democratic Congresswoman Mikie Sherrill is in a much closer race, with one poll even showing the election within the margin of error. Maria Teresa Kumar and former Rep. Joe Walsh join The Weekend to discuss the off year elections.
