US voters have just delivered what one guest calls more than a blue wave. Democrats have retaken both chambers of Congress, Texas returned not a single statewide Republican win, and Kansas elected a Democrat senator for the first time since 1932. Donald Trump stays in the White House for two more years, but the verdict on his tenure so far looks unusually brutal.
Steven Okun, founder and CEO of APAC Advisors, breaks down why he thinks this result amounts to a repudiation rather than an ordinary change election, and the "two A's" he says Democrats now have to balance in Congress. He weighs how much real power the new Congress has over Trump's tariff agenda, and what's actually on the table for investigation when it comes to the Iran war and its costs to American households. Along the way: why he doesn't expect any of this to make Trump moderate.
