@cspanofficial: C-SPAN's "Ceasefire" — Former political aide Steve Ricchetti (D) discusses historical precedents for midterm elections, arguing that Republican campaign spending had little impact on the outcome of the 2026 midterms. "Musk could have spent a trillion, it wouldn't have mattered," he said. "People around the country were saying, 'We're just not satisfied with the direction of our politics.'" Mr. Ricchetti also drew parallels between this cycle and past elections, arguing that control of Congress will continue to swing between parties "based on whether the public feels like you're really matching or meeting the moment with respect to the things that they care about." Watch the full interview FRIDAY at 7pm and 10pm ET/PT on C-SPAN. #midterms #election2026 #cspan #cspanceasefire
