With just over a month until Election Day, two pivotal races for governor could send a thunderclap through American politics and signal whether the country is ready to resist another wave of Trump-style extremism.

Governors are often the last line of defense. These contests will test whether voters are willing to elect leaders who will stand up to federal overreach, protect fundamental freedoms, and push back on rising authoritarianism.
Watch the full conversation above. Folks often ask me, what can I do? These races are ways you can help tip the balance of power in favor of democracy — before it’s too late.
