After the Shutdown Fight: Where Do We Go from Here? | Stuart Stevens & Simon Rosenberg LIVE

The Senate cave-in to reopen the government exposes lingering Democratic fear of being called “weak.”

  • Democrats’ decisive wins show Trump’s movement shrinking under its own weight.

  • Republicans are trapped defending an unpopular, incoherent agenda with no viable bench.

  • The next Democratic generation is emerging—more diverse, confident, and unafraid to wield power.

Democrats may have stumbled on the shutdown, but Simon Rosenberg and Stuart Stevens argue the broader story is one of strength, not surrender. The midterm landslide was a realignment of energy, with voters rejecting Trumpism’s cruelty and chaos by margins unseen in decades. For Stevens, the GOP’s collapse into extremism—defending Nazis, policing language, and alienating allies—shows a party that’s lost the plot and the future. Rosenberg sees opportunity in contrast: a pro-democracy coalition finally learning its own power, rooted in liberty, prosperity, and pluralism. Both men frame the moment as a turning point, not a setback—a test of whether Democrats can lead with confidence instead of caution.

Tune in to this urgent conversation on how to keep the blue wave from becoming a ripple.
