The Hound | Nov. 4

Hi there,

It’s Wednesday. Voters just handed Democrats control of the House and Senate, flipping seven Senate seats Trump carried before. Republicans know why: one senior Senate GOP official told Politico, “Trump did this.” Trump called Fox News to dispute the polls and claimed he’d had the “greatest two years in the history of the presidency.”

🖊️ Sign the petition to call on the media to report it honestly, as a national repudiation of Trump, and to say plainly when he denies it.

This was a rebuke of an administration defined by a costly Iran war, high prices, and corruption. The public deserves coverage that reflects what voters actually said, not the story Trump wants told.

In addition, Democrats elect more than 100 women to the House along with other firsts. And Speaker Mike Johnson announced earlier today he’d step aside as the top Republican next Congress.
