For the first time in ten years, the Democrats are in control of the House of Representatives. November 2018’s midterm elections featured significant historical firsts, close and contested races, and “waves” of many different colors. Pod Save America cohost Jon Favreau and Kandist Mallett, politics editor at Blavity, break down the short- and long-term implications of November’s election. Moderated by Shaniqua McClendon, political director for Crooked Media.

Hammer Forum is an ongoing series of timely, thought-provoking events addressing social and political issues. 

Hammer Forum is made possible in part by Bronya and Andrew Galef.
