Psycho Politics' George Conway joins host Molly Jong-Fast to celebrate what they call a spectacular repudiation of Trumpism, arguing that Republicans lost because they never truly checked Trump and that Congress's real duty now is aggressive oversight, accountability and possible impeachment rather than "getting even." He says the GOP is sinking under Trump's weight, with figures like J.D. Vance and Ron DeSantis already distancing themselves, and that Democrats must move fast to hold the executive branch to the law before Republicans rewrite the story. He also explains how Republican redistricting backfired, with the party's map-drawing strategy ending up diluting its own power in states like North Carolina, Texas and Tennessee. Later, The Atlantic's Anne Applebaum calls the election a rejection of Trump's authoritarian behavior and corruption, says Democrats have a brief window to show they can govern and investigate, and argues the moment should lead to structural reforms on money in politics, tech power and transparency so this kind of government abuse does not happen again.
