There are multiple narratives about what happened during the 2024 presidential election: Pollsters underestimated Donald Trump again; Democrats spent too much time and energy on niche issues rather than on bread-and-butter issues like the economy; Democrats lost touch with the working class, or the converse, that the working class has left the Democratic Party.

Or perhaps we should listen to the wisdom of Lee Miringoff, director of the Marist College Institute for Public Opinion who claims it’s “all of the above." 

The pollster spoke with Capital Tonight host Susan Arbetter about the election’s outcome, as well as some down-ballot House races in New York state.
