A Blue Tsunami: Maryland Gov. Wes Moore 11/4/26
Democrats have flipped the House and the Senate in a “blue tsunami” that swept the nation. Pollster and strategist Frank Luntz shares his own exit polling data and considers the motivating factors for many Republicans who voted Democrat in the midterms.

Considered a potential candidate for the 2028 election, Governor Moore discusses the future of the Democratic Party and the hopes of “exhausted” voters.
