About this episode
The crew kicks things off celebrating Democrats’ historic wins on Election Night, with new milestones in diversity and representation. According to the New York Times, Democrats swept key races nationwide, from Abigail Spanberger becoming Virginia’s first female governor to Zoran Mamdani making history as New York City’s first Muslim and socialist mayor since 1917. Political analyst Bakari Sellers joins the show to unpack how these victories — driven by high Black voter turnout — signal a rebuke of Trump-era policies and a potential shift in the South’s political map.
