GOP IN CHAOS: Vance Turns on Trump After "Extinction-Level" Election

Scott Galloway and Jessica Tarlov are live to discuss the fallout from an overwhelming Democratic victory on Election Day — which is being described as a possible “extinction-level event” for the political future of the GOP. After an election that was “too big to rig,” Republicans are now being forced to reckon with just how badly things went wrong. Where does the party go from here? And the fallout from the election could reach all the way to the Pentagon. As reporting indicates that Trump might be looking to single out a “fall guy” for the Iran war, Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth has come into focus as a possible sacrificial offering. Will Hegseth face impeachment, be asked to resign — or does he possibly have another job waiting for him in Tennessee? The political fallout is hitting Wall Street, as well, as AI stocks took a dive for what was the market’s largest single-day drop in 18 months. Does this signal the end of the data center buildout? If the U.S. economy is all a giant “bet on AI,” what does the overwhelming opposition to it at the polls signal for the future? Doctors and nurses were among the beneficiaries of the Democratic wave, with at least six health care professionals taking seats in Congress. This comes as more and more Americans report dissatisfaction with the health care policies of the Trump administration. This puts RFK Jr.’s MAHA movement on the defensive — where does the movement go from here? The election also exposed some tensions within the Democratic Party, as progressive candidates running on messages of economic populism seem to validate Bernie Sanders’s approach to policy, but voter referendums in some states restricting transgender rights and implementing voter ID requirements might indicate something very different. Do the results show something more complicated than a simple progressives vs. moderates divide? Plus, Scott and Jessica take audience questions about the possible end of the Electoral College, and a surprising dark horse candidate for the 2028 presidential race.
