Like most reporters in Washington, I know it is easy to get into a bubble if I stay in the Beltway. Hence, I have tried to get away from DC as much as possible to get a read about what’s going on in the midterms and see what voters are saying. At the same time, I also know that going out and talking to people is not the same as reading hard data.
But on the eve of the 2022 midterms, having made three trips — two to Pennsylvania and one to North Carolina — and having pored over tons of polls, viewed tons of debates and watched too many rallies where Donald Trump was in attendance, I can honestly say I have no idea how this election will go.
