Millions of Americans across demographic groups chose to cast their vote for Donald Trump in 2024. Why did they make that choice — and what do they hope to get out of his presidency? George Conway, Dave Wasserman, and Maria Teresa Kumar join Stephanie Ruhle on The 11th Hour. - Aired on 11/07/2024.

1. Stephanie Ruhle has a nerve.

On election night, she was sitting at one of those round tables discussing how strong the Biden economy was in context of the world economy. It would have been fucking nice if any of those commenters had pointed out, during the long election season, how, yes, there have been economic hurdles since COVID, and yes, people are feeling it, but bing, bing, bing, here is where we are in comparison to the rest of the first world - thanks to the Biden administration policies. She knows that's true, the rest of the media knows it's true, but instead they let the right wing dominate the narrative while grievance voters festered in their bubble where the US is apparently the only country in the whole world.

Nice of her to finally say this on election night itself.

2. George Conway nailed it: it's because "we normalized a sociopath."

The media's sanewashing, summarizing his speeches to make them make sense, etc.

3. And Conway sure worked hard to get the word out!
