In Episode #760 of The Political Spotlight, Host Kristopher H. Bilbrey goes LIVE on a special Friday night, with just three more wake-ups until the 2026 midterm election. Bilbrey welcomes Dr. Katherine Callahan back to the program for a wide-ranging conversation about what she has going on, where things stand in the final days before Election Day, and what is happening across Indiana politics as voters prepare to head to the polls. They also revisit one of the show's favorite political philosophies: “It's better to be a Republican in bad standing than to stand with a bad Republican!" From candidates and party loyalty to accountability, Election Day, and whatever else comes up, Bilbrey and Callahan cover plenty of ground in this special Friday-night edition. #ThePoliticalSpotlight

As The Political Spotlight heads into a busy final stretch before the November 3, 2026, general election, Host Kristopher H. Bilbrey takes a broader look at the political landscape at the local, state, and national levels. Bilbrey examines the assumptions Republicans and Democrats make and asks whether everyday citizens actually see the political world the way the parties think they do—or whether too many people have become trapped in political bubbles that distort how they understand everyone outside them. With Election Day rapidly approaching, Bilbrey cuts through the noise, competing narratives, and disconnect between political insiders and ordinary voters, setting the stage for an extremely busy two and a half weeks ahead. #ThePoliticalSpotlight
