After the 2022 midterms brought meager gains to the GOP, Democrats are now officially governing more Americans at the state level than Republicans. MSNBC’s Ari Melber reports on the midterms and how they reshaped political power across the nation as partisan voting maps are re-evaluated. Melber in particular examines Michigan politics, where Democrats won both the House and Senate for the first time since 1984, and explains how Democrats’ surprising midterm gains could reshape the future of campaigns and American democracy.

#GOP #MAGA #AriMelber
Michigan whitmer proved herself during the pandemic. Biden has also done a commendable job. The Republicans have degenerated into a lunatic fringe waiting for the spaceship. I voted conservative/generally Republican for 48 years. Last election straight democratic.
sending love and peace to everyone…
Good projection there boys and girls 😉
"It's why we invited Michael Moore on tonight" – I misheard that.
But this is great news.
Dems might be crushing rigged races. But yet, Trump's still walking free.
Thumbs up for not referencing a stupid hip hop song.
If this were the reverse, you would cry election tampering, again.
Republican politicians cheat. Stop the presses
Glad democrats are finally acknowledging that they rigged the elections by accusing GOP of it.
If they're rigged of course the dems are gonna win. Can't win on issues or ideas.
I just want them to eventually outright ban the loophole of legal bribery that is lobbyist "donations"
Gerrymandering is an illegal, outdated, anachronism in most modern democracies… but not the old USA.
Its proven the government interfered in all elections since 2016
It's time to stick a fork in the G.O.P. by outlawing gerrymandering nationally.
Republicans don’t like democracy . Republicans are only there for the money and power for themselves and the rich
A lot of racism and crazy people in Michigan but very glad to see the Democrat women in charge
What is surprising, and also not surprising when looked at carefully, is how the US voting system is skewed away from genuine democracy of, for, and by the people, and toward democracy of, for, and buy* special interest and wealth.
*deliberate choice of spelling
Lol..I personally love Ari. He knows most of his audience has no idea how voting works. The fact there may be a larger population in one district that votes for democrats never enters his viewers minds. He knows this and plays off it.
Representatives, represent their district voters. It's not a statewide popular voting game.
Omg. He just said, voting is corrupt because racism. Genius. When you want to illicit strong emotions from a large crowd, racism. Brilliant argument, Ari. One I am sure your audience will listen to and believe 100%. I love this guy.
The only considerations from the census used to draw district lines should be legal to vote and old enough to vote. No other metric is needed and adding more metrics leads to gerrymandering. Age? Not needed. Party? really not needed. Race absolutely not needed. But those all can be used to gerrymander a district.
Take Pennsylvania. I was terrified
The most corrupt government in Australia the Jo Peterson gov in Aus did the same thing until an enquiry was held about the Police in the state of Queensland it also revealed massive gerrymandering that gave consistent power finally this was stopped now we have ballenced elections.
MAGA = The end of America.
Attack the capital, see what happens. It's just begun.
I hope they are changing the gerrymandering maps.
The best gerrymandering the GOP does is get rural districts to support them. Democrats are all packed into cities and get a couple reps here and there, but they’d win just about every election no matter how they drew the districts if they were spread out more.
Sounds like we need to find a way to outlaw gerrymandering and all other forms of "legal cheating." I'm talking actual legal consequences. Jail time and fines, not one or the other both make sure no one will ever attempt to cheat the voters.
Lol let's see if msnbc has anything to say about the slave owners in Africa that sold their own people to everyone. And lets see what they say when you tell them Britain fought against Africa about them having slaves and Africa refused to stop. Msnbc you lie about history to spread your communist shaming trash on the weak and the youth of America. Cowards
If its rigged than how did they win it…
