Democrats woke up today overjoyed at the results of yesterday’s election. The party predicted a “blue tsunami,” and it definitely seems to have panned out. Across the country, Democrats flipped multiple seats in both the House and the Senate, plus several governorships. President Trump has admitted that Democrats won and says he’ll work with them. At the same time, he hasn’t shied away from using his presidential powers of the veto. Your Voice, Your Vote — it’s the morning after the midterm elections, and Greg and Holly have analysis and updates today.
In their coverage, they speak live with one of the Democrats who flipped a seat in the U.S. House, Congressman-elect Ben McAdams of Utah’s 1st Congressional District. He outlines next steps for fulfilling his campaign promises and how he’ll represent Utah voters. KSL political reporter Bridger Beal-Cvetko joins the show to discuss the massive changes coming to Utah’s legislature after several incumbent Republicans appear to have lost their seats to Democrats, third-party candidates, and unaffiliated candidates. The hosts also turn to the role the economy played in the election; Dr. Michael Kofoed, associate professor of economics at the University of Tennessee at Knoxville, shares his expert insights.
