This year’s presidential race looks certain to be won or lost in a handful of swing states where neither party has a clear advantage.
But that is not the case for Congress.
Nicholas Fandos, who covers politics for The Times, explains why control of the House is likely to hinge on what happens in two deeply blue states where Democrats run the show.

No captions? That’s a problem.
Complaining about everything? That’s a problem
@@duo315 I have hearing problems and rely on captioning in everyday life. It is specifically an accessibility issue.

What happens to a society that must pay to be informed? Where does that lead?
I think even after paying you can’t be sure it’s accurate and not biased
Paying for news is like paying to be brainwashed
I’d rather pay for three or four quality sources of news than allow my brain to be perpetually polluted with marketing copy
…it’s literally been that way since the dawn of time. Journalism isn’t free. Ever buy a newspaper?
NY has an illegal immigration problem . And it’s really evident. City taxes way too high and city is spending those tax dollars to house illegals in hotels paying $300 a night. That’s just ridiculous and wasteful. I hope democrats lose. And I say this as someone who supports Kamala and hates Don the Con
Dang I was just thinking of getting back into the NYT podcasts, specifically Ezra’s show. Definitely not gonna pay for it though
Barbarro every 5mins “ummmhuuhhhhh” he is like the white gay man version of black woman
