In hour 1 of The Mark Reardon Show, Mark is joined by John Lamping, former Missouri State Senator, to preview Election Day outcomes locally and nationally. Lamping examines the national political headwinds facing Republicans, analyzes tight Senate contests in Michigan, Texas, Kansas, and South Carolina, and evaluates the prospects of Missouri's Amendment 3 and Amendment 6 alongside Congresswoman Ann Wagner's re-election bid in Missouri's 2nd Congressional District. Mark is then joined by Charles Lipson, Professor Emeritus at the University of Chicago, contributing writer for The Spectator and RealClearPolitics, and founder of CharlesLipson.com, to preview Election Day outcomes across the country. Lipson shares his forecasts for congressional control, predicting Democrats could flip the House by 10 to 20 seats while Republicans maintain their Senate majority. He also analyzes key races in South Carolina, Texas, and Michigan, evaluates the political fallout from Rep. Haley Stevens' endorsement of Mike Rogers, discusses the Dan Sullivan ballot controversy in Alaska, and speculates on Senator John Fetterman's future alignment in a divided Senate.
