Summary
Rush Hour Podcast – Morning Edition (Post-Election Special)
It's the morning after Election Day, and the results are in — and they're huge. New York City elects Zohran Mamdani as mayor in a historic win that's shaking up the political landscape. Both Virginia and New Jersey swing blue as Democrats hold their governorships, and California celebrates a decisive victory with Prop 50 passing in a landslide. We break down what these results mean for the nation moving forward. Plus, the Justice for Clayton community braces for a pivotal day as Laura Owens heads to trial — and what we can expect next in this high-profile case.
