Hey folks,
I sat down with Don Lemon to unpack the last night’s sweeping victories for the Democratic party. We celebrated the wins, named the gaps, and mapped the grind ahead. It’s honest, a little raw, and completely necessary.
[00:01:07] Blue wave vs. “blue tsunami.” Why Democrats should celebrate—and why we can’t pretend everything’s fixed.
[00:05:22] Zohran Mamdani’s win and the case for trying new ideas (free buses, public groceries) without flinching at establishment freak-outs.
[00:09:48] The 2026 frame: affordability, security, corruption—why 80% of the message has to be about making life survivable.
[00:14:36] ICE, fear, and the Latino vote: a daycare worker taken in front of kids, and how that intersects with turnout and trust.
[00:19:12] Discipline beats vibes: Spanberger and Sherrill’s margins, young men moving back, and how to bottle that energy without getting sloppy.
With urgency,
—Mike
