David Feldman Show

The blue tsunami hit. Democrats won control of both the House and the Senate, and Trump says he'll accept the results. Ken Paxton lost to James Talarico in Texas. Gina Hinojosa beat Greg Abbott. Annie Andrews flipped South Carolina. Susan Collins, Vivek Ramaswamy, Jon Husted, Scott Perry and Brian Fitzpatrick all went down. Abdul El-Sayed becomes the first Muslim U.S. senator. In Mississippi, Scott Colom was up by 28 votes against Cindy Hyde-Smith with affidavit ballots still being counted. I also look at Trump's 38% approval in the CBS exit poll (lower than Bush in 2006), Robert Garcia's two-word message to the White House, Don Jr.'s hunting trip with Umar Kremlev, and the "dummymanders": GOP-redrawn districts in Florida, Texas and Alabama that Democrats won anyway. We're not out of the woods. Constant vigilance. The fight continues.

Hours before the midterms, Michigan Democrat Haley Stevens ditches a joint appearance with Dr. Abdul El-Sayed and endorses his Republican opponent, Mike Rogers. Her chief of staff quits, the Michigan Democratic Party throws her out, and El-Sayed raises $1.2M in four hours. Then: the final polls (blue wave, or the worst polling miss in modern history?), Ken Paxton's one-clap rally, getting real about Florida, Hegseth's impeachment vote next week, why convicting Trump in the Senate takes 67 votes, and an hour-by-hour guide to the House races to watch on election night.

Democrats lead by 8.2 percent in the home stretch with 44 million votes already cast. Senate control may come down to Kansas, Iowa, Alaska, and Texas.
