How the U.S. elections just made history

November 5, 2026 • Hosted by: Zara Seidler and Billi FitzSimons • Produced by: Rosa Bowden

Yesterday, after months of build-up, the U.S. finally held its midterm elections. The midterms mark the halfway point in a presidency and determine who controls both houses of Congress. Going into this election, the republicans held both houses… but that has now changed.

In today’s podcast, we’ll talk to Billi, who is on the ground in Michigan, about the Democrats taking control of Congress and what it means for the country.

Hosts: Zara Seidler and Billi FitzSimons
