The gang reacts to Democratic wins in last night's elections, like the pro-choice issue in Ohio and Dems taking over Virginia's state legislature; the latter effectively kills Republican donors' 2024 presidential hopes for Gov. Glenn Youngkin.
Plus, Gov. Kim Reynolds of Iowa endorses Ron DeSantis to little coverage, Rep. Peter Meijer, who voted to impeach Donald Trump, says he'll vote for whoever the GOP nominee is after launching a Senate campaign, and the NYT releases a downright terrifying general election poll.
And oh yeah, there's a debate tonight!
