What Can We REALLY Learn From This Week's Elections?
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
It was a mini-midterm appetizer sampler of elections this week across the country. At nearly every turn Democrats won in high profile races big and small. But what does it mean? Does it mean anything?
Grant breaks down the races for governor in VA and NJ. The California vote to redistrict the state and the huge win for Zohran Mamdani to be the next mayor of New York.
