About the episode

Well, it’s midterm day in America, and on my mind are three huge questions for tonight. No. 1: How much water is in the blue wave? No. 2: Everyone’s talking about the cost of living, inflation, and affordability, but who actually wants to do something about it? And no. 3: Will this election finally be the beginning of the end of boomer politics?

To answer these questions and more, Derek joins forces with political journalist and podcaster Saagar Enjeti. Together, they break down potential midterm outcomes, the state of the GOP, ethics in Washington, and the future of millennial politics in America.
