In his circle of friends, Ty Wycoff is "that" politics friend: the one you grab a drink with to catch up on what's happening, shoot a quick text to ask what the news you just heard is all about, and call in a panic on Election Night because Michigan looks like its going to go red, all the while knowing you'll get a history lesson you didn't ask for. Join Ty as he gives you the bigger picture, putting today's political events into historical context with intellectual honesty, authenticity, and millennial snark.

Fighting to keep her decade-and-a-half Senate seat against Democrat Sara Gideon, Republican Senator Susan Collins is in the fight of her career. Collins won her last re-election by 37 points, but today, Gideon leads her by 5. Can she turn things around before it’s too late? Or will the Supreme Court fight about to erupt put an end to any hope she has?

In a new series, we’ll be focusing on the Senate battleground races that could determine which party controls the Senate next year, and the GOP Senators who are in for a rough six weeks.

NOTE: The debate clips in this episode are *not* from the most recent Maine Senate debate, which occurred the night before publishing. But let me know your thoughts on the most recent debate: thishistoricmoment@gmail.com
