Republicans Panic In The Face Of Historic Midterm Flop | Alex Pareene | TMR

It’s Casual Friday! Sam and Emma host Alex Pareene, Contributing Editor at the New Republic and proprietor of the AP newsletter on Substack, to sum up, what’s happened since Tuesday night’s midterm elections. Alex Pareene gets right into parsing through the state of the midterms three days out, with the Dems having essentially secured 50 Senate seats, and the loss of the House largely able to be attributed to races in CA and NY. Next, they discuss the state of Roe coming of the elections, as even with the House minority Dems likely have the strength to push for codification, and walk through the recent judicial obstruction to Biden’s student debt relief plan. Alex also gives his perspective on the DeSantis-Trump beef, whether either of them will think twice about running (doubtful), and why – no matter how bright the spotlight – running against Trump is a mistake for GOP politicians. Wrapping up, they tackle the very valid criticisms of New York State Dem leadership by AOC and walk through the likelihood of Twitter declaring bankruptcy and the general destructive force of billionaires.

Back with us, it seems like it was only almost yesterday or a couple days ago. It does. He is the co-host of the politics of everything. He is contributing Editor to the new Republic. He is the proprietor of the AP. The good one. That hasn't been corrupted by corporate forces AP on the sub stack. And now writing over at popular.com which is a cooperative. Alex Pareene. Welcome back to the show this week. Yeah, it's great to be back you know I don't know four or five hours of sleep after I last saw you. And I I mean it was quite a night. and you I think you were the only one sober living. I was. yeah. which was yeah I feel like you should have walked us all home that night. yeah. what was your experience Alex in being the only sober one in this environment? It was a new experience for me. And one I don't hope to repeat. I trust everyone acted appropriately to you though. yeah. Nobody was too rude. All right so things like I mean when we left Tuesday night I guess it was almost Wednesday morning actually when we left this the off the the the the studio. Certainly, the trend was very positive. And it feels like that trend has only sort of like continued. bit by bit. Drip by drip. It doesn't look like the Democrats are gonna hold the house. but just the fact that we have to say that yeah it is sort of shocking. to everybody except for John from San Antonio. I should, I should say. who certainly thought it was going to be this close. but in it increasingly it looks like they're gonna keep the Senate and maybe get to 51 seats. yeah yeah and I mean I don't know I think that it looks pretty likely they're going to be at 50 again. and I know that a lot of the networks don't want to call it that because they love the drama. but it seems pretty likely that they're gonna at least be at 50 then it comes down to Georgia. yep, Wasserman has said that you know it's all butt over and he called it for Kelly. which I think is pretty locked in. John Ralston, who is like the dean of Nevada politics, continues to say that he thinks that there are enough votes out there for Masto to pull it off. and he has made a call but he's convinced that there are the votes there for her. and then let's talk about this runoff. We had talked about it a little bit because it looked like it was going to head there on Tuesday night.
