2366 - Harris/Walz Autopsy; Biden’s Role In Trump’s Win; What Do Americans Want? w/ Mehdi Hasan

It's Casual Friday! Emma speaks with Mehdi Hasan, founder, CEO, and editor-in-chief of Zeteo, to discuss all of the developments since Tuesday's election. First, Emma runs through updates on the Harris-Walz campaign’s overperformance in battleground states, PA Dems’ maintenance of the State House majority, the ongoing battle for the US House, the Trump Administration, preparations for Trump’s mass deportations, the GOP’s anti-abortion tact, Israel’s advancing genocide, and rising world food prices, also diving a little deeper into swing-state election results and watching Karine Jean-Pierre throw Harris under the bus in the face of potential criticism of Biden. Mehdi Hasan then joins, first touching on the already-advancing relationship between the Trump and Netanyahu administrations as Israel prepares an annexation of Northern Gaza, before shifting back to the still-developing numbers from Tuesday’s blowout win by Trump and the GOP, looking at Trump’s wins among minority voters (particularly Latin men), and unpacking why his vision was able to appeal to groups he actively seeks to discriminate against. After expanding on the major role misogyny and racism played in grounding Trump’s campaign against Harris, Hasan and Emma parse through the divide between blaming the campaign and blaming the voters, discussing the complete gap in perception and reality around border crossings, crime, and inflation and the failure of messaging behind, before wrapping up the interview with what Democrats have to change about the way they do politics. Emma also touches on a note on fighting fascism from a French Leftist.

And in the Fun Half: Emma and Matt unpack the role of misogyny in the overwhelming victory by Trump and the GOP, Jack from Florida tackles Trump and America’s love for money, and Alex in Phoenix explores what happened to the coalition built around Bernie Sanders’ campaign. The MR Team also touches on the continued scapegoating of minorities in the wake of Trump’s victory, some typically horrific election analyses from Bari Weiss and Tom Suozzi, and Lula da Silva’s plea to Trump over climate change. Thomas from Richmond discusses the future of DSA, and Jen Psaki has an astonishingly valid revelation about Democrats, plus, your calls and IMs!
