Victory & Tragedy
Jason Kander and Ravi Gupta break down the stunning upset in Iowa as Democrat Catelin Drey flips a ruby red state Senate seat with an 11-point margin, ending the GOP’s supermajority and signaling a major warning for Trump’s Republican Party. They analyze what Drey’s victory means for the balance of power in Des Moines, how her message on child care and abortion rights resonated with voters, and why Republicans are scrambling to protect their maps. Kander and Gupta also dive into Trump’s increasingly authoritarian behavior, from embracing the “dictator” label to attempting to fire a Federal Reserve governor, while lying about mortgage records and pointing to foreign autocrats as models for U.S. policy. Plus, they discuss Gavin Newsom’s surge in early 2028 polling, the aging of Congress, and what the California governor’s rise says about the Democratic bench. This and more on the podcast that helps you, the majority of Americans who believe in progress, convince your conservative friends and family to join us—this is Majority 54!
