Ep. 09: Unpacking the 2022 Mid-Term Elections the (Maybe?) Red Trickle

Disclaimer: This episode was recorded prior to the final results of the mid-terms, and since then the Democrats are confirmed to have retained control of the Senate, the Republicans took the House, the Senate race in Nevada was declared blue, Democrat Katie Hobbs was declared winner of Arizona governor's race against Republican Kari Lake (although Lake is contesting the results), and Donald Trump launched his 2024 presidential campaign. On this episode of Wine and Politics, Jane Marie sits down with her dad, Bob Jenevein, a veteran guest of the podcast, to unpack what exactly happened during the 2022 mid-term elections. Almost every poll out there suggested Republicans would see a "red wave" but it failed to materialize in areas other than Florida. What happened? What did Republicans get wrong? What did Democrats get right? What does the landscape for 2024 look like? Tune in to this episode to find out.

Guess who's back? Back again? Our good friend Dusty Wright is back on the podcast for another episode Across the Aisle!
