“We can’t overestimate the extent of the narcissistic injury Donald has just suffered. It’s the most debilitating one he’s ever experienced.”
@MaryLTrump tells @MehdiRHasan how devastating it is for Donald Trump that the Republican ‘red wave’ failed to materialize. WATCH:
Will the GOP break with Donald Trump after the Party’s poor performance in the midterms?
@Timodc tells @MehdiRHasan it doesn’t matter. “Whoever replaces Trump will still be a MAGA candidate, just with a different figurehead.”
“I’m with her, don’t waste a second. There’s just too much to do,” @BarbaraBoxer tells @MehdiRHasan in response to Sen. Warren’s message to not waste time and pass an aggressive agenda during Congress’s lame-duck session.
ICYMI: @Adrian_Fontes joined @mehdirhasan on the show in September, responding to a tweet from Finchem that called for his arrest: “There’s nothing semi about that fascism, it’s straight up.” WATCH:
NBC News projects Democrat Adrian Fontes defeats Republican Mark Finchem in Arizona’s secretary of state race.
Watch @mehdirhasan’s September monologue on the GOP election deniers running for the top elections jobs:
Americans are anxiously waiting to see which party will gain control of the House and Senate. But in the meantime, @mehdirhasan says, now's the perfect chance for Dems to do something that would give them extra seats in both chambers of Congress. WATCH:
Progressive Rep.-elect @SummerForPA overcame a $4 million AIPAC campaign against her, telling @mehdirhasan “Our message still prevailed.”
@GregCasar adds: “There is this continued myth that progressives are, somehow, antisemitic, and that’s absolutely not true.”
Despite talk of a rightward shift in the Latino vote, Dem wins in Texas show that "Latinos, they’re not necessarily Democratic Party members, Republican Party members," @GregCasar says: "They are folks that want to see this democracy work for working people.”
.@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.”
@mehdirhasan breaks down the midterm “Red Wave” that never was:
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!
