## Resource

Abdul El-Sayed's controversial win was closer than the polls predicted — we break down why McMorrow played spoiler, why pollsters missed the mark, and the lingering Black voter backlash over the "uncommitted" movement's role in 2024. Plus, Mike Rogers fires back with one of the sharpest lines of the cycle. Then we dig into what Medicare for All actually means on paper — free at the point of service, zero premiums, coverage for non-citizens — straight from the source. Also on deck: Hong's holiday hot takes, Mayor Pete's push to abolish the Electoral College and expand the Supreme Court, and Kamala Harris telling Democrats she wants to "revisit" the Electoral College, court expansion, and statehood for PR and DC — all while voters are begging the party to just be normal.
