WNYC/Gothamist senior political reporter Brigid Bergin hosts a conversation about the results of the 2022 midterms, and where we go from here.
Late Breaking Races And The National Political Landscape
With a runoff for Georgia's Senate seat on the horizon, and the news that broke five days after Election Day that Democrat Catherine Cortez Masto will hold onto Nevada's Senate seat, we're starting to complete the picture of what the politics in Washington DC will look like for Congress's next term. Kai Wright, host and managing editor of Notes From America, and Dr. Christina Greer, political science professor at Fordham University, hosts the podcasts "FAQNYC" and "The Blackest Questions," discuss what it means for the future of national politics.
What Happened In New York
While the predicted "Red Wave" failed to materialize around the country, Republicans made significant gains in New York, which is considered to be a deeply 'blue' state. Joseph Spector, New York Editor for Politico, overseeing government and politics coverage in Albany and New York City, joins Brigid, Kai and Christina with his analysis on the GOP's success on Long Island and other parts of the state, and what NY's Democratic Party establishment did — and didn't do — this election season.
