Justin and Corey share their Election Day final thoughts. Corey talks about why Democrats should acknowledge reality: that Joe Biden and Democratic U.S. Senate challengers have a very good shot of winning.

Kristen Friis also joins Justin to give her thoughts on how Trump getting Covid may or may not impact the election.

Justin and Corey talk about why Democrats should be feeling some good old fashion hope and election optimism heading into October.
