Previewing the "Battleground Midterms" special

This continues to heat up the battle playing out in key swing states and districts all across the country. Bill Anderson joining us now, host of Battleground Midterms here at Fox with a closer look at some of the races that you're keeping a close eye on. Bill, what's standing out now that Election Day is underway? First of all, good morning, Steve. That was a great breakdown. I was sitting there intensely watching you guys break down. It's a lot. It's going to be, I think, even more exciting than anybody thought. If you went back six months ago and thought that a legitimate seven Senate seats may be in play, and as of polls this morning, all seven are favoring Democrats in. Likely, in most states, that President Trump carried pretty significantly. It's going to be a battle, battleground, that I'm not sure people really thought existed six months ago, and yet here we are. You know, it's interesting, Bill, because we had some strategists on earlier this morning from both sides of the aisle, and I asked them which one state they might be particularly keeping an eye on, and they both surprised me. One said Ohio, and one said Iowa. Are there any states to you that are standing out? Well, I think those stand out and throw Texas into the mix as well. I mean, Texas is a situation where Democrats have tried to get Texas for years. Democrats have thought they had a legitimate shot in Texas for years, have polled fairly well. But it's a situation now where a Democrat in Texas, of all places, holds a significant lead. But I think that Iowa, Kansas, excuse me, In Senate races, Ohio that you just pointed out. Those are standing out because, again, they're not races that anybody really seriously thought would be in play. And I think that we're going to be watching closely because regardless of the outcome, and I think there are going to be some people who are surprised by the outcome, it's going to speak to what the kind of national movement is, where the energy is. Are people staying where they've been? Are they voting for change? There's a lot to watch tonight. You know, Bill, it's going to be fun, and we'll be keeping tabs with you tonight as we get the results coming in. On the congressional level, but I have to ask you, since we have you here, so many people say starting tomorrow morning, the race to 2028 is on. And for Democrats, there's some decision making to do. What do you think about that? Does anybody stand out to you as an early favorite, perhaps? And maybe that includes the governor where you are in Pennsylvania. Is there any play there? I mean, Governor Shapiro here in Pennsylvania has been talked about for years. But I think that one of the reasons why it's so important to watch tonight is because I think it speaks to the direction of the country. Again, names that will start to emerge will have a lot to do with whether or not the country in the midterms votes for, in quotes, younger, fresher ideas. How do people feel about these democratic socialists? Candidates, and Abdul El Saeed, individuals like that will let you know just how far, how progressive, how liberal the country is willing to go. On the other side of that, some of the Republican candidates, there are people who are waiting to see if the country is kind of over MAGA. Are you looking for a recreated MAGA? So you're looking for specific names. Josh Shapiro was thrown out there, AOC was thrown out there. There's a senator. Running in Iowa that a lot, or candidate running in Iowa that a lot of people are talking about has kind of created a new identity. But it really kind of depends on how people vote tonight and what they say they want going forward. All right, we'll see. We'll test the waters tonight and see what happens and take it from there. Bill Anderson's covered politics for a long time. Of course, check him out on Battleground with the SE Cup. Thank you, Bill. It's always a pleasure talking with you. Enjoy the long day today. Appreciate you, and I struggled to get over what your commanders just did to my team. Well, that battleground has been decided for now, but we'll see. There's always next year.
