Stress Test, from Mother Jones

The midterms aren't just a horse race. They're a stress test, a referendum on where the country is headed, assuming the guy in the White House lets voters weigh in at all. Stress Test, from Mother Jones, is a pop-up video podcast tracking the fight, the money, and the lies—and hunting hard for hope—all the way through Election Day. Washington Bureau Chief David Corn and Video Correspondent Garrison Hayes connect the day's headlines to our newsroom's deeply reported coverage. We'll dig into the real threat of election interference; a crop of extreme, scandal-soaked candidates; immigration enforcement and its fallout; the remaking of Washington, physically and ideologically; the backlash against data centers; the war in Iran; a desperate president whose numbers are cratering; and what opposition politics could look like once the votes are counted. Tune in every Wednesday and Friday.
