High Stakes with HRC: The Blue Tsunami Episode

Democrats swept the midterms, and Hillary Clinton calls it “a total rebuke of Donald Trump.” In this episode of High Stakes, she and Kara Swisher break down a historic night, from the nation’s first Black woman governor and first Muslim senator to more than 100 Democratic women heading to the House, a record. Clinton takes us inside her superstitious election-night rituals with her husband, explains why Elon Musk’s election spending came up empty, and lays out what legislation Democrats should pass first. She also weighs in on Chuck Schumer’s and Pete Hegseth’s futures, then makes the case for letting the popular vote decide the presidency.
