Power Trip: Those Who Seek Power and Those Who Chase Them (2022 - 2022)

With early voting beginning, ABC embeds reporters across Michigan, Pennsylvania, and DC to investigate the ongoing threats of election denial and try to talk with media-averse candidates who are changing the shape of American politics.

The young reporters focus on Georgia; breaking news about Georiga senatorial candidate Herschel Walker upends the race and sets the reporters on a mission for answers.

With the Senate split 50-50 between Democrats and Republicans and the midterm elections less than a month away, ABC follows candidates battling it out in three close Senate races that could tip the balance of power: Pennsylvania, Ohio, and Arizona.

ABC’s embed reporters head out on the midterm campaign trail to cover political figures including Cory Booker, Glenn Youngkin, and Kari Lake, all of whom could potentially be laying the groundwork for presidential runs in the future.

While ABC’s embed reporters delve into the biggest issues animating voters in Michigan, Nevada and traditionally blue Rhode Island, George checks in with legendary Democratic strategist James Carville, two weeks out from election day.

In this last week before election day, Obama, Biden, Sanders, and Trump are out on the campaign trail hoping their star power will get voters to the polls. Meanwhile, Nate Silver of FiveThirtyEight talks to George about the art of political predictions.

Months of hard work have all come down to this: election day. As ABC’s embed reporters are put to the ultimate test covering the tightest races across the country, nerves and excitement are met with the realization that their journeys are ending.
