À propos de cet audio
In this episode, hosts Robert Morris and Ruairi break down the latest U.S. election results from Virginia, New Jersey, New York, and beyond — and explore why the night turned out to be a sweeping win for the Democratic Party. But beneath the headlines lies a more complicated question: What direction is the party really heading?
With the election of candidates like former CIA officer Abigail Spanberger, the Democrats appear to be consolidating gains not by shifting left, as figures like Zohran Mamdani might hope, but by embracing a more centrist, national-security-friendly identity — a posture that aligns closer to Pentagon priorities than democratic-socialist ambitions.
Robert and Ruairi look at the electoral data, the policy rhetoric, and the factions within the party to ask:
Are Democrats rejecting the progressive wing, or just recalibrating?
What do these victories mean for the party’s future strategy?
And is the Biden-era coalition holding — or hardening?
It’s a deep dive into ideology, power, and the future of American politics — one that challenges assumptions about what voters really want.
