Election Night at The Atlantic

Watch our writers put their boldest arguments to the test, as the midterm results roll in.

Elections are about more than just who wins or loses—they’re a contest of ideas. So which ideas will win the night?

Starting at 9 p.m. ET, Hanna Rosin and Adam Harris will examine the forces shaping this moment in American politics, in a live special episode of Radio Atlantic. They’ll be joined by Tom Nichols and David Frum for a debate about whether the MAGA movement is dead. With Mark Leibovich and Tyler Austin Harper, they will explore what the surge of far-left candidates in swing states means for the Democratic Party. And Anne Applebaum will explain what comes next for American democracy.

Have Democrats finally found a winning strategy, or is the blue wave a mirage? Will President Trump accept being a lame duck, or will he test the limits of executive power? Those questions and more will be deliberated on “Election Night at The Atlantic.”
