Something BIG Is Happening in Red States. The GOP is NOT Happy.

What the hell is happening in Utah? Democrats are looking increasingly competitive in places that used to be about as welcoming to their party as a vegan at a Texas barbecue.

Harry Enten is pointing to growing Democratic momentum nationwide, the Cook Political Report is moving House races toward Democrats, and even traditionally Republican districts are getting interesting. Jim, Tiffany, and Nick break down the numbers before welcoming Peter Crosby, a Democrat challenging Congressman Blake Moore in Utah's 2nd District.

Crosby offers a fascinating perspective on conservative voters who aren't necessarily becoming liberals, but are increasingly questioning the far right. He discusses his campaign's surprising polling, the affordability crisis, government corruption, and why ordinary people still have the power to change things.

For the blue dots feeling lonely in red states, this one's for you. Some genuinely encouraging political news, a few laughs, and a reminder that elections aren't over until the votes are counted.
