.@SummerForPA says Tuesday night marked a stamp of approval for progressives:
“We came against institutional backgrounds and barriers to win decisively,” she told @mehdirhasan. “It shows that despite the ads, the racially-coded messaging … our values resonate with people.”

.@JocelynBenson may have won reelection in Michigan, but other states may still elect secretaries of state who could disrupt the 2024 election: “We will see people ascend to chief election officer positions…who will use these positions to foment distrust about our democracy.”

We know the right's all about hate, @mehdirhasan says, and they’re not afraid to say it.
“Hate is what drives them,” @cliff_notes says. “And when you have no principles and that’s all that you can use to try to motivate your base, that’s never going to end up in a good place.”

There are rumblings that the all-powerful Murdoch outlets and the GOP are over Donald Trump — but @WalshFreedom isn’t buying it (and neither is @mehdirhasan).
“Have we learned absolutely nothing in the last five years?” Walsh asks. WATCH:

Exit polls show a majority of voters don’t want Biden to run in 2024. But if the midterms are a referendum of the president, should Democrats reconsider?
“The guy’s been wildly underestimated,”@MollyJongFast says. “So I wouldn’t call him out just yet.”

“They said no one cared about democracy. They said the abortion issue had faded away, that the only thing voters care about is the economy. They were all wrong.”

Many people wrote off progressive Dems going into the midterms. But, it turns out, these candidates had a really good election night.
How’d they overcome the obstacles to win their seats? @mehdirhasan asks Reps.-elect @GregCasar & @SummerForPA. Tune in: peacocktv.com/mehdi

The political echo chamber—esp. on the right—was certain a midterm "red wave" would carry the GOP back to power in both chambers & give them a mandate.
@WalshFreedom, @cliff_notes & @MollyJongFast join @mehdirhasan to discuss why that didn’t happen. Watch on @MSNBConPeacock!

Despite the hurdles they faced, @SummerForPA and @GregCasar both won their races to serve in the House of Representatives — and their victories come with valuable insight about the voters who elected them.
Watch them talk all about it with @mehdirhasan on @MSNBConPeacock!

NBC News projects Democrat Seth Magaziner defeats Republican Allan Fung in Rhode Island’s second district.
A GOP red wave wasn’t out of the question in the historically blue state, @mehdirhasan warned, and it raised a key question: What exactly is a moderate Republican?

Last week, @mehdirhasan told you about VA-07, a newly-drawn district that promised to be a bellwether for how the mid-terms would go. Now, NBC News projects Democratic Rep. Abigail Spanberger has defeated her Republican opponent, Yesli Vega.

NBC News projects Democrat Josh Shapiro has defeated Republican Doug Mastriano in the PA governor's race.
If Mastriano had won, as @mehdirhasan explained earlier this year, a Democratic presidential candidate’s win might not have been certified come 2024. youtube.com/watch?v=cRdkd3aW…

Democratic Sen. Michael Bennet defeats Republican Joe O’Dea in Colorado, NBC News projects.
"Democrats have a moral obligation to win seats," he told @mehdirhasan in July. "Because if we lose them, we’re gonna lose them to people that don’t actually believe in the democracy.”

Make no mistake, @mehdirhasan says: Democracy itself is on the ballot today.
But Democrats have yet to reckon with why that threat feels less relatable to many voters than gas prices:

We could soon be waking up to a different political universe, with Republicans hoping to take control of Congress tonight. And if that happens, @mehdirhasan says this scenario could become much more likely in 2025:

Joe Biden and the Democrats are projected to lose seats in this year’s midterm elections. But Republicans winning control of the Senate isn’t all but guaranteed, @mehdirhasan says:
