Hello, everybody. What a week. This is Sarah Longwell, publisher of The Bulwark. And if you have been listening to this podcast for the last many months, then the election outcomes that we just got are not shocking to you. Because as we have been saying the whole time, swing voters, they do not like these extremist candidates. They say at the top every time, what do they care about? They
They care about crime. They care about inflation. They care about the economy. Yes. When it came to vote choice, what we saw over and over again from the true swing voters, not the leaners, but the swing voters, they were voting for Democrats because many times it came down to because they thought they were too extreme on abortion or because they just thought they were extreme in other ways.
And we saw that play out in race after race this week. But here's the thing. We are still waiting for results in Nevada, in Arizona, and in terms of who controls the house. And so...
I am just checking in to say that we are going to take this week off just because we still got all these races left to count. We are pulling together swing voters to do sort of a retrospective to find out who they voted for and why they voted. We always, you know, we want to make sure we're here to use the focus groups to shed light. But it's just going to take a little bit here. We're probably going to need another week to really field our group. So we're going to be off this week.
Go check out the secret podcast that I just taped with my pal Jonathan Last. Check out The Next Level with me, Tim, and JBL. Go check out Charlie's podcast, which is great. I'm on Beg to Differ this week with Mona Charon. So lots to sift through, lots of other great Bulwark podcasts to go get your content from. But I promise we will talk to a bunch of swing voters, and then we will let you listen to what they say. Appreciate all of you. Appreciate you listening. Stay tuned. We'll talk soon.
