Dissecting the 2014 Midterms

Which party will reign supreme on Capitol Hill? That’s the question central to the 2014 midterm elections. Republicans are fighting to maintain a majority in the House, and as election season forges on, control of the Senate is becoming less certain. The midterms will also be the first political test since the rollout of President Obama’s signature health care legislation. So what’s ahead for the parties, the candidates and the President in 2014? CNN’s John King led a lively and insightful conversation with MSNBC’s Perry Bacon, NBC News political reporter Kasie Hunt, ABC New Political Director Rick Klein and the Wall Street Journal’s Beth Reinhard.
