## Resource

September 18, 2026, 9AM: As early voting begins in some states, polling data is not getting better for Republicans. Plus, JPMorgan analysts are basically throwing in the towel when it comes to forecasting where oil prices are headed as the Iran war has no clear end in sight. And, lawyers for the Trump administration are returning to court for arguments over the nearly $1.8 billion 'anti-weaponization fund'. Laura Barrón-López, Jake Sherman, Mark Leibovich, Kevin Frey, Brendan Greeley, Justin Wolfers, Fallon Gallagher and Robert May join Money Power Politics this Friday morning.
