KA-BLUEY! THE MIDTERM BLUE NUKE HITS THE U.S.A! with Krystal Ball & David Dayen (Bonus Ep)

Democrats just took back the House and the Senate in one of the most lopsided midterm routs in modern history. Talarico flipped Texas, and El-Sayed beat Rogers in Michigan despite Haley Stevens’s betrayal. Francesca is joined by Breaking Points co-host Krystal Ball to ask: with this historic win, will the feckless Democratic establishment FINALLY rise to the moment? We get into Chuck Schumer, whether Democrats should work with Trump, and why the party has to break with Israel. Then, the American Prospect’s executive editor David Dayen joins to talk about the new wave of representatives in swing states, who aren’t actually moderates as much as populists! And we look into whether the blue wave can finally mean the end of the Electoral College, and why California has somehow kept itself as a neoliberal hell.
