The crew are joined by Amanda from Amanda’s Mild Takes to unpack a night where Democrats over performed almost everywhere and what it means for the chances of the government shutdown ending soon and the midterms in 2026.
From tight races that turned into decisive wins to battleground states that broke blue by surprising margins, we break down how Democrats exceeded expectations up and down the ballot. Amanda brings her signature sharp-but-grounded analysis as we look at what powered these overperformances, the races that best captured the trend, and what it all means heading into 2026.
