everyone! what has become apparent is the size of the wave and the rebuke of the republicans. they made every republican in the country suddenly feel insecure. i loved some of the stories that didn t end well for democrats. the new faces in the democratic party. beto o rourke was really fun to cover. from beginning to end, he gave a great speech, he dropped an f-bomb. i m so [ bleep ] proud of you guys! sorry about the f-bomb. we have no control over what s in the concession speeches of various candidates around the country. i think beto coming as close as he did in red, red, red texas was still a big story. i think the stacey abrams race, the way she conducted herself. our fight to count every vote is not about me. it is about us. the way she rallied men and women and really people across the socioeconomic spectrum in that state to her cause.
