Pollsters and partisans of both parties think there's a good chance Democrats could lose control of the Senate in this year's midterm elections. What will that mean for a higher minimum wage and reducing interest on student loans?

Elizabeth Warren was elected Senator from Massachusetts after helping establish the

. In her first term, she's often mentioned as a potential candidate for president, and her recent memoir,

, reads like a campaign biography. During a book tour, she's joined us in the studios of KCRW in Santa Monica.
