Episode notes

The Dobs decision was really notable. One of the most dramatic conservative policy shifts in a very long time, and it happened under a Democratic president. So that may have scrambled this typical pattern because now you have voters who do not like this policy change thinking perhaps the Republicans have gone too far. The place where a red wave did happen last night was in Florida.

The midterms weren’t a clear victory for Republicans, and it’s still too early to know who’ll control Congress. Vox’s Andrew Prokop explains.

This episode was produced by Miles Bryan and Hady Mawajdeh with help from Amanda Lewellyn, edited by Matt Collette, fact-checked by Laura Bullard, engineered by Efim Shapiro and Paul Robert Mounsey, and hosted by Noel King.
