The Dawn of the Democrats | The Joy Reid Show LIVE, Nov 05, 2025 Episode

On this episode, we deconstruct Democrats' huge 2025 Election Day, in which they swept races from Mississippi to Ohio to Virginia, New Jersey to Detroit, Michigan and Zohran Mamdani's landmark win in New York City. And we dive into the indefensible lack of Muslim representation on mainstream news networks on the night American Muslims made history in multiple states. But we begin by talking Trump's epic corruption with Judd Legum of popular.info. Our own TJRS producer, Nida Khan tells her personal story, which made Mamdani's victory so poignant to her. In hour two, international journalist Rula Jebreal and civil rights leader Maya Wiley break down the history that Mamdani made, and the lessons the media and Democrats can learn from it.
