Hello from Washington. I'm Chuck Todd, and this is the Chuck Todd cast, a post-election one.

It is Wednesday late afternoon, November 6th. Kamala Harris just officially conceded in public to Donald Trump after calling him privately and conceding.

And we're all on a bit of a state of delirium here, simply because most of us haven't slept much in the last 48 hours, but also because

the night unfolded pretty quickly. And what could have been a week-long slog turned into something

we're more used to, a proper election night with exit polls that were somewhat accurate, early

numbers that were somewhat accurate, early numbers that

were somewhat telling, and a fairly clear outcome. So I'm joined now by two of my favorites in the

political analysis space, Doug Sosnik, the former political director for Bill Clinton. He was

this president that was a Democrat back in the 1990s. We'll tell you about the 20th century in a little bit.

And the co-author of Applebee's America,

which was an important book that a whole bunch of Democrats forgot to read.

Plus, Jessica Taylor is the Senate and Governor's Editor

over at the Cook Political Report with Amy Walter

and has her finger on all

that stuff. And we may extract a few house things out of her too. So we're going to get into it.

I don't have any viewer questions today. We're going to let you guys stack up the mailbag for

the following weekend on Friday as well when I dig into more numbers with my pal Dante

Cheney. But for now, Doug and Jessica, welcome back both of you to the Toddcast separately, first time coming on together.

Appreciate it.

So is the election as simple as this, Doug?

One of the theories I had about this election with late voters is which president were you thinking about it in the voting booth?

Donald Trump or Joe Biden?
