Chicago Way w/John Kass (11/09/26): This week Tom Bevan, the president and co-founder of RealClearPolitics, joins John Kass & Jeff Carlin to break down the massive political shakeup of the 2026 midterm elections.

Together, they analyze the “blue wave” that swept the country, leaving the Republican Party in absolute shambles. From James Tallarico’s shocking victory in Texas to the fierce post-election blame game targeting J.D. Vance, Susie Wiles, and Stephen Miller, they dissect how a perfect storm of an unexpected war in Iran, rising gas prices, and systemic swamp corruption alienated moderates and energized the Democratic base. Bevan also shares a heartfelt, touching tribute to Kass’s legendary journalism career, celebrating his decades of writing four columns a week for the Chicago Tribune.
