ABOUT THIS EPISODE

October 4, 2026; 7am: With the midterms just 30 days away, there’s growing concern about election interference. In President Trump’s TIME Magazine interview this week, he declined to rule out declaring a national emergency around the midterms. MS NOW has confirmed the Republican-led George state election board is asking the Justice Department to intervene in the state’s voting systems. And this week, House Democrats held a hearing on election security. Democratic Congressman Suhas Subramanyam of Virginia, a member of the House Oversight Committee, and Skye Perryman, President and CEO of Democracy Forward, join “The Weekend” to discuss.
