THE CIRCUS: INSIDE THE GREATEST POLITICAL SHOW ON EARTH Continues Seventh Season Today

The Emmy® nominated series THE CIRCUS: INSIDE THE GREATEST POLITICAL SHOW ON EARTH continues its seventh season this Sunday as Democrats face an uphill battle to maintain control of Congress in this fall's midterm elections.

During a week that saw the historic confirmation of Judge Kentanji Brown Jackson, the first Black woman to be elevated to the Supreme Court, hosts John Heilemann, Alex Wagner, Jennifer Palmieri and Mark McKinnon examine how Democrats hope to energize their base and avoid an electoral tsunami in November. The successful confirmation of President Biden's nominee for the high court comes at a time when his approval rating has plummeted, a dangerous sign for his party ahead of the midterms.
