    10/29/2026 | 33 mins.

The latest CNN poll shows Kansas Democratic U.S. Senate candidate Adam Hamilton leading Republican Senator Roger Marshall by four points. On today’s show, Jane speaks with Hamilton, a pastor-turned-candidate, about what he would bring to the state, where rural hospitals face some of the highest risks of closure in the country.

    The Trump Effect on Elections Abroad

    10/28/2026 | 29 mins.
    Israel, Brazil, and Serbia recently held elections. Jane talks to Tommy Vietor, co-host of Pod Save the World, about what links all three. And whether a "Trump effect" is at work abroad, or if these three are separate stories about corruption, war, and a local backlash.

    Can Abdul El-Sayed Win Michigan's MAGA Voters?

    10/27/2026 | 31 mins.
    MAGA is getting nervous as polls in the Michigan U.S. Senate race show Democratic candidate Abdul El-Sayed leading. According to new polling from Detroit News/WDIV-TV, El-Sayed had 51.4% support, compared with Republican candidate Mike Rogers at 45.1%. Of the 600 likely voters, 3.6% were still undecided. Jane talks to Abdul El-Sayed about tariffs, cost of living, and how President Donald Trump and friends are resorting to their Islamophobic playbook to distract Michiganders from the issues.
