In this video I take a look at the Iowa U.S. Senate race for 2026. Iowa was a swing state a decade ago and has been light red for most of the past U.S. Senate cycles. This year could be different.

This video is about the Senate Primary in Illinois. The political field is crowded on both sides of the spectrum. The Democratic field is packed with candidates, some have yet to post their FEC reports, some have already amassed over a million dollars in donations.

In this video I take a look at the effects of the One Big Beautiful Bill on Rural Health Care in America. This is going to be one of the biggest issues in 2026.

This is a very red state and should be a safe U.S. Senate race. The new polling on how the GOP identify themselves as MAGA or Republican has been in the back of my mind. I wonder how these GOP primaries are going to play out.

In this video I look at the U.S. Senate race in Georgia. Georgia is going to be a battle, as it has been for the last 20 years. The Democratic ticket in this state looks strong but it’s going to take everyone all working together to keep this state in the blue collum.

This video looks at the Senate race in Colorado. This is a very blue state with a well-funded incumbent and no real challengers on the left or the right so far.

have to admit I was not paying much attention to Arkansas. My research has led me to believe that this state may be in play this cycle. Both on the Senate side and Congressional side of things.

In this video I take a look at the Senate race in Alaska, I don’t think this one is in the running, but you never know. With all the upheaval in the GOP anything is possible.

In Eileen Higgins’s race, the City of Miami mayoral runoff, she — a Democrat — won with 59.5 % to the Republican’s 40.5 %. In the same batch of runoffs, several other local seats changed hands.

n this video I look at who is running for the Senate seat in Alabama and what the numbers look like for Democrats. I also look at the early money coming into the 2026 cycle.

In this pod cast I talk about Wisconsin politics and what chances two of the congressional seats have to flip.

In this video I look at all the special election that have happened and what that could mean for the 2026 election cycle. I show all the swing variables for each election and then use them as a guide for what the swing could be walking into this next cycle.

In this video I take a look at all the races that have a contested primary. A couple of these races could be interesting. We don’t have to worry about the GOP taking control of the of any of these seats. None of them have a GOP opponent and non are expected. If that changes it wouldn’t matter.

Rhode Island doesn’t have many surprises except for one. Nobody had filed for the seat as of the making of this video, very weird. I have no doubt that a few will by the December 8th deadline. The state is blue and will be in the Democratic party next cycle without a doubt.

This state is interesting, when you look at the trends you see it’s mostly a 50/50 state. Not all that blue and not all that red. It explains why the two Democratic U.S. Senators sided with the GOP on the government shutdown.

In this video I look at some of the crazy numbers coming out of the FEC reports in Florida. We have Republicans under water in their fundraising and Democrats raising all sorts of cash. We have some seats that I think could flip if the Democratic candidates can increase their fundraising.

In this video I take a look at where the candidates are in the fundraising and what to watch for in this upcoming cycle. At least two congressional seats are on the verge of flipping in this state and it might have a third if the wind blows just right.

In this video I look at Minnesota and specifically two of the GOP held congressional seats. In this upcoming cycle we can see big shifts in voter turnout in most states, Minnesota is no exception.

In this video I take a look at the very blue state of Connecticut. A very safe state for the Democratic party but maybe not for the elected democratic incumbents in the seats. I found a very dynamic primary worth keeping an eye on.

In this video I take a look at the beautiful Island of Hawaii. Both of these seats are safe congressional districts, but the interesting thing is what they look like. District two is made up of over a dozen islands.

In this state I take a look at the Congressional Districts in Tennessee. This state has some very good examples of gerrymandering specifically when it comes to Nashville. I show in this video a close up look at what some of the worst gerrymandering in the country looks like.

In this video I take a look at the beautiful state of Washington. I lived in Washington for a short while and loved it very much. Most of the state is controlled by the Democratic party, no surprise.

CLSB Politics was featured on a Pod Cast this week. Hope you all enjoy it.

In this video I look at all the contested seats in Missouri. The Democratic seat that represents St. Louis is safe, and that is a good thing. They really did pack the Democratic votes into one district, another example of Gerrymandering.

In this video I take a look at some new polling that measures the change in polling numbers for various groups when it comes to Trump and the GOP. Where these numbers were in the end of 2024 and where they are now at the end of 2025.

In this video I look at Michigan and some of the busier congressional races in the country. This state is proving to be dynamic in both parties, and it will take a second look into the FEC reports to clear up both where some of the seats are headed.

The ICE raids in NC and SC are getting more serious, Brandon Brown a candidate for SC U.S. Senate has made a statement worth reading.

In this video I take a quick look at the what the congressional races are looking like in Kansas and where the Democrats are likely to build out some opposition. I will return to this state for a look once more FEC information has been posted.

This video looks at Arizona. When looking at the numbers this state should be much bluer than it appears to be, lots of reasons could be causing this and we go into that here at length.

his video looks at all the real possibilities that the Democratic party has to win some very interesting seats. These seats will not be easy, they are a mix of urban, suburban, and rural, all of which need to be targeted in order to win.

This is a quick look at Utah, not much going on here but it is a great example of what to look for when looking at district maps. The GOP will most likely not be losing any seats in this state, but you never know until the votes are counted.

A small state with a big impact. In this video I look at what impact some of the races will have not just in 2026, but where some of the current candidates might end up in future election cycles.

n this video I look at what seats are in play, this being a very blue state with only one Republican held seat and that seat having a 10 point margin, if it flips this would be the cycle.

This is a look at the Virginia Primary, what seats are likely to flip and where the GOP is vulnerable. It also looks at the impact of the new voter data from the 2025 General elections.

In this video I take a look at the math behind Trumps new big “idea” to give $2000 checks to middle- and low-income Americans. The math just does not math.

This is a look at both the congressional districts and how red Oklahoma is. The gerrymandering in this state is in full effect. In reality the most Democrats could hope for is just one out of the five repetitive seats.

In this video I take a look at the 8 senators that gave up on the Democratic Party. They walked away from the only leverage that Democrats had to keep 70 million people from losing health care and the destruction of health care in huge areas of our country.

The big story will be the Senate race in Maine but in this video, we take a look at the down ballot Congressional races. Maine has become an interesting swing state for 2026.

In this video I take a look at the gerrymandering and demographics of South Carolina as well as who is running and what funding they already have secured for their race.

This video is about where the candidates in Nevada are in their campaigns. What are the fundraising trends, who has the money, and who doesn’t. What do the districts look like and why it matters.

Not only is New Mexico beautiful, but it is also full of left leaning democratic voters. Spoiler alert, the Democratic Congressional Candidates should be fine this cycle.

This is a look at the competitive races in New Jersey, how the funding is looking like and how many of these races are being funded. Some districts are very crowded, and I found a couple of districts that could flip for Democrats.

A look at a state with the most retail politics in the country. In this video we take a close look at a state that in the past few cycles has become more and more red. What does the FEC filing tell us about the future of this important state.

A more detailed look at the election results from November 4th, and how I think it will translate into votes for the 2026 cycle, specifically looking at Virginia, New Jersey, and New York. It is a long way till November 2026 but the migration of Republican voters to the middle left is undeniable.

From New York to South Carolina, from New Jersey to California, propositions and candidates cleaned up. This was one of the worst Novembers for the GOP in an odd year in living memory. Let’s get ready to fight and work hard in 2026.

Pennsylvania being a swing state is not new news. With that State Senate seat that was dark red switching in the special election could mean all the rules are out the window. In this video I take a look at one of the most dynamic states and what that could mean for all of us in the whole country.

Not a very dynamic state but has one surprise. When you think Montana you think GOP strong hold, well the times they are a changing. We take a closer look at one of the districts that may have a blue future in this video.

In this video I asked the question why these farmers were voting against their best interests when they vote for a candidate that wants to use tariffs as a weapon. Tariffs are a double-edged sword that cuts both ways, especially those in the farming industry in rural red America.
