So, Trump won. And we've assembled some of my favorite leftists to unpack why. Host of the Katie Halper Show and co-host of Useful Idiots Katie Halper weighs in on the left's predictions about the impact Gaza might have on this election and takes down the mainstream media narratives that emerged immediately following Trump's win. Independent writer Zaid Jilani, who hails from swinging Georgia, offers a unique perspective on the state, as well as the choice to prioritize identity politics over the material needs of voters. Last but not least, journalist Malaika Jabali offers insights from her on-the-ground reporting in Wisconsin-- a state that ended up being an underobserved harbinger of the future of the Democratic Party.

0:51.4	Well, my mom and I have, like, the same politics.
0:53.7	But in terms of what I know
0:55.5	it's going to happen is that Bernie Broads are going to be blamed in my extended family. So I'll have to
1:01.1	just like agree to disagree with why Trump won. So let's get into it. Why did Trump win? Because my
1:06.3	big takeaway, frankly from this is that because Kamala Harris received 15 million fewer votes
1:13.1	than Joe Biden did in 2020, and Donald Trump managed to win with 3 million fewer votes
1:20.0	than he had in the last time around, that it's very difficult to attribute this to anything
