John is joined by Jason Garcia and Josh Martin for a reaction to the results of the 2022 Minneapolis primary election. Though this episode premieres two days after election day, Josh announces results as if in real time, accompanied by breaking news music. We ponder the meaning of Rep. Ilhan Omar's surprisingly small margin of victory; Mary Moriarty's comfortable first place finish in the Hennepin County Attorney's race; Don Samuels and Martha Holton-Dimick's failure to win in North Minneapolis, despite touting their community connections; and the geographic strengths and weaknesses of the candidates. John suggests Ryan Winkler's loss can be attributed to never finding a lane -- being neither the progressive choice nor a bomb throwing law and order type. Jason announces results from Meg Tuthill's front yard. John wonders if Don Samuels was making a Nixonian dog whistle on law and order by using the phrase "exhausted majority" during his triumphant concession speech. We take a fond look back at the video highlights from the Tad Jude campaign, aka Batman's police friend.
