As wise philosopher-queen Beyoncé once said: “Who run the world? Girls.”
Her iconic lyric may run true around the rest of the globe, but, as @mehdirhasan asks — why hasn’t the U.S. yet elected a woman to run the *country*? Watch his interview with @alivitali on @MSNBConPeacock.

You know that midterm elections “red wave” you’ve heard so much about? Well, Tuesday night’s primaries marked a great night for Dems — and if Republicans take the House in November, it won’t be because of a GOP blowout at the polls.
Let @mehdirhasan explain:

Far-right activist Laura Loomer lost her GOP primary in FL, but not by much.
"I'm glad she is not going to be a colleague," @IlhanMN tells @mehdirhasan, adding: "It is scary that many people are not paying attention to the actual threats these people pose to our democracy."

Progressives failed to coalesce in NY's 10th district, and lost to centrist Dem. Dan Goldman in the primary.
“I do hope that this is a lesson," @IlhanMN tells @mehdirhasan. "If we are not consolidating our efforts…then we face the reality of losing that seat."

Biden pledged to forgive up to $20k of student debt, and he’s done it. But will it do enough for the Black Americans who are disproportionately crushed by student debt?
If it fails to address that, @mehdirhasan says, "It's not going to be as historic as many were hoping."

Democrats earned a huge victory in a potential bellwether NY House race. Could that mean the House is still in play for Democrats?

"Walker may be one of the most unqualified candidates to run for the United States Senate in the modern era. And yet, he could very easily win in November," @mehdirhasan says. "That’s where we are, folks.”
Herschel Walker tried to redeem himself after he stumbled while discussing the climate crisis last month. It did not go well. - @MaddowBlog on.msnbc.com/3QOoJFF

Georgia GOP Senate hopeful Herschel Walker says one bizarre thing after another. His latest head-scratcher? His rebuke of the new climate law: “Don’t we have enough trees?”
Walker may be "one of the most unqualified candidates" for Senate in recent memory, @mehdirhasan says:

How does the growing anti-vaxxer movement play into diseases like polio that we’ve previously been able to control?
“It’s actually pretty disastrous,” @AmmahStarr tells @mehdirhasan. “I cannot stress enough the damage that Covid anti-vaccine attitude is having and has had.”

“The walls have been closing in on Donald Trump for years,” she tells @mehdirhasan. “When you’re a white, wealthy, well-connected man...those walls move very, very slowly. But they’re getting closer and closer."

Trump’s team says WH documents at Mar-a-Lago were declassified. That's not the way it works, @mehdirhasan says, but what if it were?
"It doesn’t change the nature of the underlying information and the threat that it could pose to our national security," @AshaRangappa_ says.

Donald Trump and his cronies keep insisting, w/o evidence, that the ex-president declassified the docs seized by the FBI before he left office. So why isn’t he on right-wing media’s airwaves explaining himself?
“The truth is,” @mehdirhasan says, “he knows he has no defense.”

Former Austin City Council member @GregCasar's TX primary win broke the mold in more ways than one. And as a progressive House candidate in an increasingly purple state, the left might do well to study his playbook.
He joins @mehdirhasan on @MSNBConPeacock to discuss — tune in!
