Seth Meyers takes A Closer Look at the final weekend of midterms drama
Seth Meyers took "A Closer Look" at the final weekend of midterms drama on "Late Night".
Election Day marked the final weekend of the 2026 midterms, and Seth Meyers provided a detailed recap of the campaign drama in his Late Night deep-dive segment, A Closer Look. The host examined notable events, including Donald Trump's cancellation and then uncancellation of campaign stops in Kansas and Iowa, as well as a peculiar situation involving two Dan Sullivans on Alaska's ballot.
Meyers zeroed in on the latter, citing a New York Times investigation that alleged political operatives linked to Mary Peltola's Democratic Senate campaign recruited another candidate, Dan J. Sullivan, to compete as a Republican and siphon votes from the incumbent Dan S. Sullivan. Meyers found this instance amusing, acknowledging that while it was dirty, it didn't reach the level of the Republicans' alleged efforts to undermine a presidential election.
He also addressed Anderson Cooper's scathing critique of Democratic Rep. Haley Stevens in a CNN interview, describing it as brutal and filled with awkward silences.
