About this episode
Republicans have essentially secured a House majority for the next two years. But the GOP is in disarray, as members vying for leadership positions point fingers at who's to blame for their midterm losses. Young voters turned out in historic numbers this election cycle to support Democrats. Victor Shi, strategy director for the Gen Z-led nonprofit Voters of Tomorrow, explains how young people helped beat back the anticipated “red wave.” And in headlines: President Biden said it’s “unlikely” that a missile that hit Poland was fired from Russia, a judge overturned Georgia’s “heartbeat” abortion ban, and the U.N. said the global population has reached 8 billion people.
