'BradCast' 11/23/2022 (Encore: John Nichols of The Nation on Election 2022 results; Also: Voters turn Arizona 'blue'...)
b"Encore: original air-date 11/15/22. On today's 'BradCast':\\xa0 The 2022 Election continues as media outlets declare winners in several extremely close races. In Arizona, Democratic Sec. of State Katie Hobbs reportedly won the race for the governor's seat over former TV news anchor and failed Trump-wannabe Kari Lake. Wyoming's outgoing GOP Rep. Liz Cheney likely found Lake's apparent loss particularly satisfying. Democrats have won nearly every major statewide seat in Arizona in advance of the 2024 election, including the state's crucial top election office. It was a remarkable midterm election as the 'red wave' imagined by Republicans and corporate media never materialized. Progressive journalist and author JOHN NICHOLS of The Nation digs deep into the results, examining why this midterm election defied historical patterns, and how the media's months-long fixation on a 'red wave' appears to have influenced and altered the strategies of both major parties.\\xa0 Nichols also discusses the impact of huge turnout by young voters, lessons the Democrats and progressive should learn, Donald Trump's losing streak, and how Americans saw a clear choice between Republican extremism vs. a Democratic party edging toward progressivism.
