Summary

Meghan and Miranda talk with veteran journalist Mark Halperin about the recent election's impact on American politics, covering everything from Biden's relationship with Kamala Harris to the Democratic Party's leftward shift and its challenges in appealing to a broader electorate. Halperin offers his perspective on the media’s largely hostile coverage of Trump and the complexities of the legal landscape surrounding his return to power. Nikki Schwab joins to share insights from the Howard University non-victory party, where Kamala Harris's speech provided a moment of solace amid an otherwise somber mood. Together, they also discuss the evolving dynamics within the Trump family, Biden’s legacy, and what a calmer, more stable Trump administration could look like.
