Nir & Rupar

The great GOP butt-whoopin’ of 2025


Listen Later

On the latest episode of Nir & Rupar, our live weekly video show, David Nir of The Downballot and Aaron Rupar of Public Notice recap an extraordinary election night that saw voters hand Republicans a well-earned butt-whoopin.

If you haven’t yet subscribed to The Downballot, which provides unparalleled coverage of the thousands of critical elections below the presidency, sign up below:

David and Aaron discuss:

* Just how thoroughly Democrats whipped the GOP, from coast to coast and up and down the ballot.

* Why Republicans are fooling themselves when they dismiss the results as nothing more than Democrats winning in blue states and cities.

* How democracy stood strong — and millions of people freely expressed their views — despite Donald Trump’s best (or worst) efforts.

And much more! We also took some great questions from viewers.
