Democrats Dominate Midterms as Gun-Control Groups Rout Gun-Rights Groups

November 6th, 2026

Reload Reporter Julie Miller and I examine the outcome of the midterms, especially the key gun races. We discuss how badly the gun-rights movement got outraised and outspent by the gun-control groups and how much success the latter had on election night. We also cover the departure of two key Department of Justice officials and why it's harder to predict the future of gun policy in the Trump Administration.
