Politico isnโt leaving live video coverage of the midterm elections to the usual suspects.
The political-news outlet will steam โPolitico Elections Liveโ on Tuesday, November 3, beginning at 9 p.m., with five of its top journalists analyzing real-time results. The program will stream on Politico.com and the Politico app and also via YouTube.
The panel features Politico โPlaybookโ co-authors Adam Wren, Dasha Burns and Will Steakin, alongside Jonathan Martin, the senior political columnist, and Alex Burns, the senior executive editor. The panelists will share more than race calls, drawing on the outletโs reporting from around the nation, sharing what they are hearing from sources, and explaining to viewers what the results mean for the nationโs politics in weeks to come.
โElection night is when Politicoโs audience wants more than a scoreboard. Our reporters have spent this cycle in the states and in constant contact with the candidates and campaigns,โ says Jonathan Greenberger, Politicoโs global editor in chief, in a statement. โโPolitico Elections Liveโ puts our audience in the room with them as the results arrive, with a sharp read on what the night means now and for 2028.โ
The livestream will cap a cycle of midterm coverage that has seen Politico journalists travel across the country, relaying their findings in programming such as โOn the Roadโ with Jonathan Martin, presented by Meta, and โThe Conversation with Dasha Burns.โ Both have visited swing states as part of their reporting. Politico has in recent months placed new emphasis on video podcasts in a bid to showcase its journalists, who often contribute to mainstream news outlets.
