On today's episode of The Mighty, we sit down with friend of the show Ravi Gupta to discuss the state of the midterm elections as we rapidly approach Election Day 2022. Gupta is the co-founder of Arena, an organization dedicated to convening, training, and supporting the next generation of candidates and campaign staff and previously worked on Barack Obama’s 2008 presidential campaign. He is also the host of two of our favorite podcasts, Majority 54 and The Lost Debate.

On this show, we dive into the messaging impacting voters the most, how to combat the Republican Party's efforts to control the media narrative, the role of January 6 on Americans' voting decisions, how to talk to (and persuade) MAGA family members and friends, and so much more. This is such an important conversation and we hope you enjoy =.
