elected lawmakers are making history. rail and elected its first another democrat mckay massachusetts first female and first lesbian to be elected governor, in florida democrat maxwell frost became the first member of generation z to serve in congress. here he is. when people ask me what chairing the cares, about i think we all care about the same issues, but generation z is seeing them through a different lens, right, the life we have been through. i think about my timeline growing up, seeing occupy wall street, learning about trayvon martin who estimated just 30 minutes north remy, parkland, march for our lives, these are the moments that are defining our generation, and i think i m taking that perspective to congress and the urgency these deserve. a content creator trying three now, she also goes by the on twitch, please thank you so much for being here with us. if there was a blue wall holding back the red wave, it
policies of the republican party, then about trying to navigate past grievances over the former president, and that is upon republicans moving forward to find candidates that are more about reflecting what people want as opposed to past grievances. but a lot of those candidates are still in congress, and you know, even if republicans do control congress, the margins will be extremely slim, so the maga members of the republican caucus, they will have an outsized influence. so, whoever is the majority leader, who will they be able to handle this? well, kim, right now looks like it might possibly be kevin mccarthy, and he has to navigate that. he has to try and real in the far right part of the republican party, and i hope that he is able to do so because the fringes on either side, democrats have this as well with progressives, the friendships really are alienating a lot of voters, and
well, votes are still being counted to decide which party will take control of congress, a razor-thin republican takeover at the house is widely expected, but their final margin will be much smaller than many had predicted. with three races yet to call, control of the senate is still up in the air. we are not joined by political analyst who is also the president of the equal pelosi institute at the so looking at the historical patterns, not to mention biden s popularity, the economy, it was supposed to go like this, why weren t biden and the democrats punished more in the polls? what color me surprised, all of the analyst and a bit surprised, the democrats did far better than anyone
republicans have a trump problem. that seems harder to solve. so putting aside the florida problem which is a big one, the gop is donald trump how possible you talk about the moving on from him, but still plenty of maga republicans out there who won t let the party move on, especially in these primaries. that is right. desantis s job for the next 6 to 10 months is to make peace with those people, to basically give them permission to leave donald trump by not attacking trump, but by saying, jumped a disservice, he was one of our but he was yesterday, i m today, and i am tomorrow, and if you want to win you have to come with me. all right, before we go, i want to ask, you republicans might still control both houses of congress, but no sign was given a real mandate, so looking at governing over the next two years, you have written about the trend of the so-called two year presidency,
will have any impact on trump s possible announcement about the presidency? i think if it was up to him, he wouldn t have announced the night of the midterms you had to pull back i think is what i m hearing, i don t think that it will have an effect on him, i think even more so he will want to do it because i don t think he looks at these headlines and he likes them from everything we have seen and the reporting from cnn is that he is very bothered that his beside himself about the outcome of this and we all know that donald trump wants everything to be about donald trump and he is going to look at desantis you already has a nickname for him, i think this will be a clash of the titans on the side of the republicans, and they will have to decide i think the republicans in congress are going to finally have to decide whether they now have the backbone to stand up to donald trump, if in fact what my friend alyssa says is true, they would be smart to do that to put donald trump aside and
