With just a year until the 2026 U.S. midterms, political tech is already reshaping campaigns. Historically, the president’s party almost always loses seats in midterms, and early forecasts suggest Democrats could reclaim the House by flipping a relatively small number of swing districts.

In this razor-thin environment, AI-driven voter targeting, predictive turnout models, generative messaging, and real-time sentiment tracking give campaigns unprecedented precision in persuading and mobilising voters. In this Political Tech Preview, Eric Wilson, Executive Director at Campaign Trend and a veteran political technologist who has led digital teams for U.S. Senate and presidential campaigns, will explore how campaigns are leveraging AI and data-driven tools to shape narratives, track voter sentiment in real time, and maximise impact in high-stakes contests.
