Amy, Jessica and Matthew get together to discuss where 2026 races stand as we enter spring. They go over which candidate announcements they are waiting on (they're looking at you Sen. Durbin in Illinois and Gov. Kemp in Georgia) and the implications of various decisions on other races. They also discuss some of the intra-party challenges emerging for the Democratic party and how Trump may, or may not, weigh in on certain races.
