Republican election autopsy

CNN
About this episode

Republicans are in the throes of an election autopsy after Raphael Warnock defeated Trump-endorsed Herschel Walker in the Georgia runoff, giving the Democrats a 51-49 Senate majority. The panel discusses if Trump fever has broken as members of his Party abandon him after a lackluster midterm performance, and whether it actually affects the Republican voter base.

Rep. Bennie Thompson says the January 6 Committee is aiming for December 21st to release its final report and decisions on criminal referrals. Plus, the Trump Organization is found guilty of tax fraud, why a restaurant refused to serve a conservative Christian group, the global threat of right-wing conspiracy theorists, five women sue Bill Cosby alleging sexual assault and abuse, and Apple is sued by two women alleging their exes used Airtags to stalk them.

Hosted by Laura Coates and Alisyn Camerota.
