Episode 88
7am: The two off-year races for governor in New Jersey and Virginia mark the first major electoral tests of Donald Trump's agenda, and could offer an early glimpse of what's ahead in next year's midterms. In Virginia, Democrat and former Congresswoman Abigail Spanberger holds a commanding lead in the latest polls. In New Jersey, on the other hand, Democratic Congresswoman Mikie Sherrill is in a much closer race, with one poll even showing the election within the margin of error. Maria Teresa Kumar and former Rep. Joe Walsh join The Weekend to discuss the off year elections.
8am: Tuesday's state races will offer a sense of how voters feel about the president and his administration. In Virginia, polling shows the Democratic gubernatorial candidate in the lead while the race remains competitive in New Jersey. Meanwhile, Democrats are spending millions to protect three state Supreme Court justices as Republicans push to unseat them. DNC Chair Ken Martin joins "The Weekend" to discuss why he's feeling bullish on the party's chances for victory and what Tuesday's results could mean for the future of the Democratic Party.
9am: The White House confirmed it conducted yet another strike against an alleged Venezuelan drug vessel - at least the 15th since early September. Earlier this week, a string of reports said that the administration had identified Venezuelan military sites as potential targets to disrupt drug-smuggling networks and pressure the Maduro regime. Rep. Adam Smith joins The Weekend to discuss the military strikes.
