This year, there are no Congressional or Presidential races on the ballot, so what can we learn about the state of national politics from next week's results? There are a number of races that will offer important information: two governor's races, along with referendums in Ohio about marijuana and abortion.

This hour, we talk with a data analyst who discusses what the results could portend for 2024. Our guest:

  • Joseph Burgess, team leader at the Social Sciences Data Lab at the University of Copenhagen
