Three days after the 2026 election, John reviews what he calls a historic drubbing and repudiation of Donald Trump and the GOP, with Democrats projected to rise into the 250s in House seats and make unexpected Senate gains, though still short of veto-proof margins. He shares exit-poll findings from a 79,000-person sample (in-person plus phone/email including early voters) showing top issues as affordability (status anxiety and cost of living), corruption (Trump administration dealings and corporate/Silicon Valley power including AI and data centers), and the war with Iran. Voting patterns show a large gender gap, strong Democratic support among Black, Latino, and younger voters, and a decisive independent tilt toward Democrats. Tune in as he breaks down which groups shifted and how the top issues shook out to give the Democrats this historic victory.
