371. 2022 Midterms: The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly

Show Notes

The Heartland Institute's Donald Kendal, Jim Lakely, and Justin Haskins present episode 371 of the In The Tank Podcast. The ITT crew discusses Tuesday's election results - the good, the bad, and the ugly. What takeaways do we have from the results, what happened to the "red wave," and what does this it mean for policy in the United States moving forward? Also, will these results dissuade Donald Trump from running again in 2024?
