On this special election preview episode of “OPB Politics Now,” senior political reporter Jeff Mapes looks at the race between U.S. Sen. Jeff Merkley and Jo Rae Perkins.

Merkley appears headed to an easy reelection as he cements his position as one of the most liberal members of the Senate. Perkins is a staunch supporter of President Donald Trump who talks about seriously downsizing the federal government. In almost every way, the two illustrate our stark political divides.

This is a link to OPB's election coverage, ballot guide and results.
