Election Day is here at last. Jon, Lovett, and Tommy go through the final batch of polls and make the case for optimism (and pessimism) in each of the battlegrounds, from the Haley Stevens drama in Michigan, to Roger Marshall's desperate ad in Kansas. Then they zoom out and discuss the expectations game, baseline assumptions that might need updating, and what a better- or worse-than-expected night would tell us about 2028.
