really happy to have you here. we are less than 30 days out now from the elections. we are going to be joined in just a moment by the man who was in charge of the democratic party s efforts to hold the united states senate. and that is quite a job this year. the polling averages right now show that the prospects for both parties in the senate are equal as of today. literally, if the polling says today ends up matching the vote on election day, it will be 50/50 in the senate. so in terms of control of the senate, control of the direction of the country, every race really matters. every seat really matters. every candidate really matters. it is just on a knife s edge. and i mean, just on a personal level, if you didn t know whether you would volunteer for a candidate yet this year. if you would volunteer to door knock or do some get out the vote work. if you haven t committed to voting for sure yourself this year, this year your vote will really matter. this is not one to skip
so in terms of control of the senate, control of the direction of the country, every race really matters. every seat really matters. every candidate really matters. it is just on a knife s edge. and i mean, just on a personal level, if you didn t know whether you would volunteer for a candidate yet this year. if you would volunteer to door knock or do some get out the vote work. if you haven t committed to voting for sure yourself this year, this year your vote will really matter. this is not one to skip out on. this election will be very tight and very, very interesting. and very consequential. again, if the polling bears out. and election day looks anything like the polls say it will lookh today. we ll be talking with the man in charge of the democratic party s efforts in the senate in just a moment. obviously, a super high stakes job. a super difficult job. still though, who would you rather be? would you rather be the senate guy for the democrats right now? or would you r

All of it. you have to narrow it down. there is a lot to work with here. when he won the senate race in 1940, his republican would be colleagues in the united states senate had to go vote in the senate on whether he would be allowed to take his seat. they had to decide whether or not his moral turpitude was too much to allow him to be seated as a u.s. senator so they considered it. thi and they decided, in the end, it s fine. they voted to seat him and therefore he took his seat as a u.s. senator. and then in his first term as a u.s. senator, the u.s. justice department brought the largest mass sedition indictment in u.s. history against 29 definites charged with undermines the armed forces of the united states, seeking to overthrow the u.s. government by forceful taking support from the hitler government in germany to do so. that case, that sedition case itself was astonishing and it took a whole bunch of amazing twists and turns.
