Campaigns & Elections

Morning Joe—all in for Talarico ‘28. John Heilemann kicked things off last week on the very morning after the election, saying that a Talarico campaign staffer who worked on Obama’s 2008 campaign told him the Talarico phenomenon “feels a little bit like” Obama in Iowa in 2008—the caucus win that served as his springboard to the White House. The show upped its enthusiasm today.

The newest edition of CBS’s 60 Minutes featured a revealing intervie between new correspondent Ross Douthat and President Trump, where, in a mostly cordial interview, Douthat asked Trump about the midterms and his morality, and made it clear when Trump alluded to a possible immigration deal with Democrats. 

However, after an interview that showed some signs of the potential of a “…

Admittedly, the recent midterm losses suffered by the Republicans in the House, and Senate, as well as gubernatorial and legislative losses in states across the country are devastating for the party, and historic in nature. But while gloating about the results, the liberal media has mostly left out the perspective that the 1994 and 2010 midterms would provide, and on CNN's Inside Politics…

With an incoming Democrat Congressional majority upon us, the Elitist Media is picking up the pace and very quickly carrying their water. In this case, justifying and downplaying the weaponization of government against Republicans and conservatives who dare to work for the Trump administration.

After the 2026 midterms, media figures are accused of protecting the new Democratic congressional majority by downplaying evidence of planned investigations into major corporations. Despite Senator Warren’s vague answers about targets, reports confirm Democrats have a dossier listing hundreds of executives set for probes, highlighting media bias and political weaponization.

With election week over, the left wing media was in desperate need of a new obsession, and they have apparently found it in new White House Chief of Staff Stephen Miller, appointed by President Trump on Friday, replacing Susie Wiles. Miller, who has been a target of the left for years while serving in both Trump administrations, came under heavy verbal fire Friday night on CNN's Election Week…

Politico is celebrating presumed Democrat gains in the 2026 midterms and predicting a 2028 presidential win, yet avoids naming any actual candidates. The blog points out this omission, suggesting mentioning real contenders would undermine Politico’s optimism given doubts about potential Democrat front-runners and lingering electoral uncertainty.

PBS host Christiane Amanpour welcomed Pulitzer Prize-winning author Barbara Kingsolver to Friday’s episode of Amanpour and Company to not only promote her new book but also to engage in the type of election analysis that says that Tuesday was not just a good night for Democrats; it was a victory for democracy itself.

On Election Night Tuesday, the PBS News Hour continued its cozy Democratic tradition of hosting Rep. Nancy Pelosi on Election Night, the way it has since 2016, as proudly noted by co-anchor Amna Nawaz Tuesday night. Pelosi has been a guest on the News Hour six straight election nights starting in 2016, including both mid-term and presidential year elections. 

And there they go. The “they” here would be the “mainstream” (aka liberal) media. And where they have already started heading is into the jungle of the 2028 presidential election.

CBS Saturday Morning co-host Adriana Diaz joined various Democratic politicians and left-wing activists in celebrating Texas turning blue. Diaz was especially eager to tout Gina Hinojosa’s election as governor, which she claimed “rocked households like an earthquake” due to her being Latina.

MS NOW host and congressional correspondent Ali Vitali wandered outside the bubble on Friday to join HBO’s Real Time host Bill Maher and Free Press contributor Coleman Hughes in recapping Tuesday’s midterm election results, which included some discussion about the media’s role in election coverage. During the regular show, Vitali would defend media fearmongering about the administration…

Joe Scarborough has a long history of mounting verbal hobbyhorses and riding them into the ground. On Thursday’s Morning Joe, he did it again—this time with the word “beat.” Across roughly the first hour and a half of the show, Scarborough used some variation of “beat,” “beating,” or “beating up” no fewer than eight times. The target was Republicans, and his accusation was their alleged…

On Thursday, MS NOW’s On the Line found plenty of ways to make Mississippi’s election about Donald Trump, but activist LaTosha Brown took things a step further by invoking the state’s Jim Crow history to explain the apparent Democratic advantage.
