Trump Faces Backlash After Midterm Election Rout


The Republican Party’s generational collapse in this week’s midterm elections ushered in a wave of finger-pointing largely aimed at the Oval Office, exposing deep fissures within the party and opening the door for 2028 hopefuls to hone their message.

The US midterm election results marked a “blue tsunami,” according to Goldman Sachs, with potentially significant implications for AI and data center regulation.

France is bracing for a day of strikes and demonstrations over the cost of living, extending more than a month of protests, as parliamentary talks over next year’s budget remain deadlocked.

Today’s guests: Jari Stehn, Goldman Sachs Chief European Economist; Estelle Brachlianoff, Veolia CEO; Caroline Behringer, CB Strategies Founder; Amanda Sloat, IE University Professor.
