Hey everybody, it's David Plough. Welcome to Campaign HQ. Well, what a night, and what

a week as we continue to count votes from Arizona, Nevada, California, Colorado. But I thought

I would just do a quick recap of the election. Hope you enjoyed the episodes that went

is the turnout of young people all across the country. But also the most fascinating statistic
