Exclusively for CPR subscribers, the Editors Roundtable features Cook Political Report analysts discussing the most critical developments and trends driving political coverage.
You don't have to wait for the 2026 midterms for races. New Jersey and Virginia hold gubernatorial contests next year that will be fascinating to watch. Amy, Jessica and Matthew get together to discuss the interesting dynamics in both these states and what history tells us about off-year elections. They also explore how these races may serve as indicators for what to expect in the midterms and beyond, and the challenges both parties face in mobilizing voters.
