All in starts right now. Good evening from new york. Im chris hayes. It was a big day for the future of american democracy.

They want some key senate rates right . Now rather than looking at that outcome and thinking wow, we can be a Competitive Party even in high turnout elections which would have been a totally rational conclusion. Republican
