Hi House Talkers!

In our latest episode, we discuss 4 more districts that will determine the balance of the House: CA45, FL26, VA02, and MN02!

We discuss how the Republican incumbents in these 4 districts fight to hold on to their seats. We also talk about the huge fundraising numbers from Democrats, and play some of our favorite ads in these races.

We also want to thank everyone for tweeting at us @HouseTalkPod for the House races you want us to cover! We’ll be including at least one of the races in a future episode!

Hi House Talkers,

Now that we’re in the post-Labor Day home stretch we discuss some of the top races that both of us are following closely—WA08, KY06, NY22, and KS03.

We discuss these 4 top races in depth, as well as a broader topic of how how the national committees and outside groups are trying to define the narrative in these races.

Which of these races is your favorite? Let us know!

Hi House Talkers!Are you ready to see some Arizona and Florida primary results?? We are!! And we've got a great episode for you to listen to while you hit "refresh" on your election results website of choice tonight...Our guest is Republican strategist and crisis communications specialist Alex Conant of Firehouse Strategies. Alex worked for Senator Marco Rubio's presidential campaign, President George W. Bush, and the RNC during the McCain presidential bid, so there's no one better to help us make sense of last week's political bombshells.On a serious note, both of us send our deepest condolences to the family and loved ones of Senator John McCain. He fought for what he believed in with tenacity, but also with grace and class. His underlying belief that being an American is far more important than being either a Republican or a Democrat is something we certainly can agree on.Have a wonderful Labor Day holiday with your family and friends!

Hi House Talkers! In our latest episode we welcome Dave Wasserman, the House editor of the nonpartisan Cook Political Report, back to House Talk. Last year he gave us an overview of how the House is shaping up this year. When we interviewed Dave last week before he hit the campaign trail, we discuss whether 2018 is shaping up to be a wave. Dave thinks it is, but Liesl isn’t quite there. Is 2018 shaping up to be 2010 in reverse? What differentiates some suburban House Republicans who Dave thinks are safer from those he puts in tossup categories? Listen on to find out more!
