With just five days until Election Day, Scott Galloway and Jessica Tarlov streamed live to break down the most hotly-contested races in the battle for control of Congress — with some new signs that the landscape may be shifting even more in Democrats’ favor. This is also now officially the most expensive midterm election cycle ever, with spending surpassing even past presidential election years.
In South Carolina, Republican Darline Graham is in a virtual tie with Democrat Annie Andrews. Will the state elect a democrat to the Senate for the first time this century?
In Georgia, Obama once again got under Trump’s skin when campaigning for Sen.Jon Ossoff and gubernatorial candidate Keisha Lance Bottoms. And in Ohio, Vivek Ramaswamy’s attack ad against Democrat Amy Acton backfired in the governor race. Does Acton have a chance, or will Ohio stay red?
And in Alaska, polling continues to favor Democratic challenger Mary Peltola. But the Republican governor has ordered an investigation into whether Democrats tried to confuse voters by recruiting a Senate candidate with the same name as incumbent Dan Sullivan. Could this investigation tank Democratic chances?
In Michigan, Democrat Abdul El-Sayed is leading in the polls, but is facing lingering opposition from within his own party — this time it’s from his former primary challenger Haley Stevens and her fiancé. Scott and Jess discuss whether this is a bad sign for the El-Sayed, or if this is media-driven distraction.
They then touch on updates from Israel’s pivotal election, in which no candidate managed to secure a clear victory. But will whoever emerges as Israel’s next prime minister be able to win over the American public?
Then, Jay-Z has been announced as next year’s Super Bowl halftime show headliner. Scott and Jessica wonder how this will be received by Republicans — and whether Beyoncé might make a surprise appearance. And, Scott suggests that this news might be a well-timed diversion by the NFL.
Finally, Scott and Jessica take questions from viewers, covering topics including Trump ignoring court orders and the potential for a Republican upset. Plus, Scott reflects on losing high school elections.

Trump was on the campaign trail there yesterday. Is this panic — or smart politics?
