“Election 2018: The Big Picture” will report on the national context for the primaries in a highly polarized midterm election year.

Voters will be choosing official major party candidates for national offices such as the United States Senate and House of Representatives, as well as governors and other statewide offices and local leadership roles.  At that point more than a third of states will have held primary elections and there will be less than six months to go before the midterm elections in the fall. It is an important moment to take stock of the national political outlook. Hosted by,  NPR’s Ari Shapiro.

NPR National Political Correspondent Mara Liasson, NPR Political Editor Domenico Montanaro and NPR Congressional Correspondent Susan Davis will join the coverage along with political guests.

A link to the special report, “Election 2018: The Big Picture”, will appear below tonight at 8PM.
