Q & Trey: The 2026 Midterm Races to Watch

Trey Gowdy delivers a sharp, candid breakdown of the 2026 midterm races to watch, blending political insight with self-deprecating humor about his own golf struggles. He identifies key battleground states—South Carolina, Texas, North Carolina, Georgia, Maine, Alaska, and Ohio—highlighting open Senate seats, high-stakes gubernatorial races, and the unpredictable nature of swing states. His analysis underscores the importance of process over outcome in governance, especially when it comes to Supreme Court rulings, where he urges listeners to read opinions directly rather than rely on media spin. The episode pivots into a surprisingly vulnerable and comedic reflection on golf, where Gowdy admits to constantly switching clubs and putters, blaming his poor performance on mental lapses rather than equipment. He reveals a deep-seated frustration with his putting, confessing to breaking putters in frustration and seeking help from sports psychologists like Brad Faxon and Bob Rotella. Ultimately, the episode becomes a meditation on consistency—both in politics and personal habits—where the real challenge isn’t the tools, but the mind behind them.
