California Democrat Flips Seat in the Last House Race to Be Decided Adam Gray, a former state lawmaker, defeated Representative John Duarte, a Republican, in a reversal of their 2022 race.

So the “big red wave landslide” could mean just a 217-215 GOP majority in the House as Trump takes office in January 🤭 (until empty seats are filled later in the year) www.nytimes.com/2024/12/04/u...

Americans Have One Very Strange Cognitive Bias Or: How I learned to stop worrying and love The People.

Americans have a weird cognitive bias.

People make incorrect estimates about the population. Crazy incorrect. For instance, they think 21% of the country is trans, 40% is black, and 30% lives in NYC. . . . 1/7

1.65% popular vote win is not a landslide

For Minority Working-Class Voters, Dismay in Democrats Led to Distrust In scores of interviews throughout 2024, Latino, Black and Asian American voters, many of whom voted for Donald Trump, said they no longer trusted Democrats to improve the economy.

Democrats MUST listen to working class voters if they want to learn how to win again.

"Many said Democrats’ dire warnings about threats to democracy felt far less compelling compared with the urgency of their own struggles to pay the rent."

I certainly hope and expect that this meeting doesn't change Mika and Joe's approach to covering Trump... attempting to establish a line of communication with the incoming administration is just part of the process.

We don't know what specifically was said at this meeting, but this is how journalism works.

It's not acquiescence/capitulation. Mika & Joe are not responsible for "normalizing" Trump, Americans chose him despite the show's (appropriately) critical coverage of him for 7 years.
