It's officially 2025, and the new Congress has been sworn in and Donald Trump will soon be inaugurated for his 2nd term. But before we get too far into what comes next, Josh and I thought we'd take a moment to talk about the lessons we think each party should learn from the 2024 elections. To do so, we split the conversation into two parts - one for each party. We discuss the lessons we think Republicans should learn from their victories that gave them control of the White House, the House of Representatives, and the Senate on Josh's podcast for part 1, and then on this episode we talk about what Democrats should learn from their losses.

If you can't tell by the title, Saving Elephants is a show you'll very likely relate to if you listen to The Homeless Conservative, so go listen to part 1 and give Josh a follow wherever you listen to podcasts.
