On Election Day for the 2026 midterms, Nate Silver joins Odd Lots to break down why he calls this the 'rock and a hard place election.' He explains that the national environment strongly favors Democrats winning both the House and the Senate, but the party would need to pull off historic feats like winning Texas to take the Senate. Silver discusses why popular narratives about polling error miss the mark, the limits of prediction markets, and why AI won't replace pollsters anytime soon. He also previews what he'll be watching as returns come in.
