The weeks leading up to election night are a blur of numbers. Who’s up? Who’s down? Will the Republicans have enough seats to take the Senate? How are the parties faring in state-level races? Join the Institute of Politics for a candid look at some of the country’s hottest races. The first in a series of weekly events looking at the midterms will offer predictions from leading election forecasters and explore the interesting mix of art and science in their craft. IOP Director David Axelrod and IOP fall fellow Steve Schmidt will be joined by UVA Center for Politics Director Larry Sabato, The Cook Political Report’s Jennifer Duffy, and The Washington Post's Aaron Blake. Students only. This event is closed to the press and off-the-record.
