19:00Now PlayingFor the first time since Donald Trump's re-election there is renewed optimism among Democrats, after Zohran Mamdani and other candidates won big.
Alongside the win in New York and the governor races in New Jersey and West Virginia, the party also won important – albeit less glamorous – races in Pennsylvania and Georgia.
In this episode, Justin, Anthony and Sarah are joined by Jim Messina, a Democrat strategist and former deputy chief of staff to Barack Obama. He gives his take on what he thinks lies behind Tuesday’s wins, what he thinks the party has learned since 2024 and whether he agrees with Prop 50 - the redistricting measures passed in California to redraw the state’s political lines to favour Democrats.
