With the 2026 midterms upon us, the races for Senate control are playing out in states where national polls and on-the-ground sentiment do not always align.
In this episode of Epoch Reports, Benjamin Trenerry speaks with Epoch Times journalist Jacob Burg, who has been reporting from Michigan and Maine in the final stretch and speaking with voters and local observers.
They discuss Trump’s influence on whether Republican candidates will succeed, and the issues dominating conversations on the ground. They also examine the dynamics of the Senate race in Maine and what independent voters still appear to be weighing up as Election Day approaches.
They look at the wider picture of the final days: what the campaigns are doing that voters seem to notice, the cautious mood around the polls, and what the on-the-ground reporting suggests about the atmosphere in two of the most closely watched states.
