Over the next week, we ask guests from different political parties about the lessons they're taking from a historic midterm election. We start with the left, where fears of a "red wave" turned into euphoria about keeping the Senate (at the very least).
What issues do they see as most motivating for voters? With all the talk about Ron DeSantis -- a swing state governor who has won big -- why isn't there equal buzz about Gretchen Whitmer? What does the last week mean for President Biden?
Our guests:
- Paul Hypolite, founder of Leading With Our Values, a government relations and public affairs firm
- Stephanie Townsend, councilmember for the Pittsford Town Board
- Denise King, former executive committee chair of the New York State Democratic Party
