2028 election Archives - The P.A.S. Report

Episode Description

The 2026 midterm election results delivered a crushing defeat to Republicans, handing Democrats control of both the House and Senate. The GOP had two years in power—so what did they actually deliver?

In this hard-hitting election autopsy, Professor Nick Giordano breaks down why Republicans lost Congress. GOP leadership campaigned on fiscal discipline while rubber-stamping trillions in debt, feigned outrage over government weaponization without repealing a single federal authority, and surrendered public education while parents demanded accountability for failing schools.

Now, Republicans face an urgent eight-week test: Will they force recorded votes on voter ID, statutory border security, and real spending cuts before January 3rd, or spend the lame-duck session licking their wounds? After January 3rd, Democratic committee chairs will hold subpoena power to launch investigations into Donald Trump, his cabinet, and Elon Musk, while the Senate prepares to block judicial nominees.
