We are just 39 days away from President-elect Donald Trump's inauguration. But Democrats are still trying to figure out what went wrong in 2024, and how to fix it before 2026. Wisconsin Democratic Sen. Tammy Baldwin breaks down why she thinks she won re-election in a swing state, in which Trump also won, and how Democrats are approaching the president-elect's cabinet picks. Later in the show, Politico senior defense correspondent Conner O'Brien explains what's actually in the big defense bill House lawmakers passed Wednesday. And in headlines: FBI Director Christopher Wray says he will resign when President Joe Biden leaves office in January, Grocery store chain Albertsons called off its merger with fellow mega grocer Kroger, and a federal judge in Texas put a stop to the sale of Alex Jones's Infowars to the Onion.
It's Thursday, December 12th.
I'm Jane Coston, and this is what a Day.
The show that did not fake its Spotify wrapped list to show a bunch of songs by Bruce Springsteen.
Unlike New Jersey Representative Josh Gottheimer, My Spotify rapped is perfect and real and contains no Bruce Springsteen because I am not a sports writer in my late 50s.
On today's show, Dr.
Phil.
Yes, Dr.
Phil talks immigration policy with the incoming border czar.
And the sale of infowars is going back to the drawing board.
Let's get into it.
We are just 39 days away from President elect Donald Trump's inauguration, and I am not excited about it and probably neither are you.
So it makes sense that Democrats are still trying to figure out what went wrong in 2024 and how to fix it before 2026, when midterm elections could flip the House and maybe, just maybe, the Senate.
Clearly, something went wrong.
How can we get it right?
Did we lose because we moved too far to the center, too far to the left?
Were there too many groups?
Was it Gaza?
Inflation?
Anti incumbency, not enough press conferences, too many press conferences, podcasts, social media, misogyny, racism, not enough dudes?
Trump's weird celebrity.
