Fresh off their decisive election night wins, Jon is joined by Governors-Elect (and former congressional roommates) Mikie Sherrill of New Jersey and Abigail Spanberger of Virginia, to reflect on their journeys from Capitol Hill to state leadership. Together, they discuss their shared experience navigating Congressional gridlock, explore what drew them to seek executive power, and examine what they hope to accomplish for their states as governor. Plus, what do Thanksgiving, Ozempic, and big balls have in common?
