The Midterm Special | Weekly Recap

Tom Bilyeu and his team break down the 'bluenami' midterm election that saw Democrats flip seven Senate seats and capture their largest House majority in decades. He attributes the outcome to voter frustration with President Trump's handling of the economy, gas prices, and the Iran war, rather than a clear mandate for progressive policies. The conversation turns to the coming gridlock, potential impeachment without conviction, and the already-begun 2028 presidential race. On the markets, Tom notes the historical post-midterm stock rally but warns that AI may disrupt the pattern, while a divided Washington that freezes new spending could steady Treasuries. The team also reviews failed ballot measures on AI regulation and a California billionaire tax, and Tom shares his broader worry about the U..S. drifting toward European-style economic stagnation.
