Debbie Wuthnow: Midterm Mayhem and Election Anxiety

Debbie Wuthnow: Midterm Mayhem and Election Anxiety

Author: David Fiorazo August 28, 2026 Duration: 55:29
Mary chats with Debbie Wuthnow of iVoterGuide, a ministry of American Family Association, about the midterms, and the crossroads at which we Americans find ourselves. Thanks to iVoterGuide, we can have access to tremendous amounts of research on all the midterm elections – scorecards, polling places, dates and much more – because an educated electorate benefits our nation. Most people don’t realize that primary elections decide the vast majority of races;  if people don’t vote on the ground level, say locally for school boards or in state and national primaries, they can’t truly complain about having lousy candidates. We are leaving our votes outsourced to our neighbor if we don’t turn out. Yet primary voting numbers are notoriously low. So here we are, November 3 fast approaching. Thirty-nine state governorships are up for grabs, and flipping the House and Senate are also possibilities. Add Ai into the mix, and Democratic Socialists, and it’s easy to see that the face of our nation is changing fast, and not for the best if you are concerned about voting Christian values. WE should be determining who best represents our values, not our neighbor who doesn’t often have a biblical worldview. What are some of the issues? What about Ai, foreign and domestic? Is it the economy? A lot to cover in our pre-midterm chat with Debbie Wuthnow.     Stand Up For The Truth Videos: https://rumble.com/user/CTRNOnline & https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCgQQSvKiMcglId7oGc5c46A
