mark, why do you think sarah palin lost tonight?ll, i think she comes with a lot of baggage, obviously. i think there is a larger conversation about whether this speaks to a larger trend line in the midterms and i think since the dobbs decision, democrats have over performed a number of races now. but obviously, sarah palin is -- she is, she is a sui generis character, right? she's not necessarily representative of a congressional candidate somewhere else in the country. but having said, that is a really troubling trend line and results for republicans in these last few weeks, partly because it's also another celebrity quasi-freak show candidate that comes from the trump trend, the trump, holdout voters seem to be showing, time and time again, they are pretty sick of. so, that has got to be problematic also. but bottom line, the seat has been red since about 16 20, or whatever, and now it is flipping -- red and that's bottom line. >> nick begich, her opponent, is saying she lost not because of -- but because her unfavorable writing

sarah palin, 30.9%.n candidate, though, comes from a famous democratic family in alaska, at 27.8%. nobody got 50%. so they enter ranked choice voting. that means taking nick begich's voters and finding out who was their second choice and redistributing them. begich gets eliminated. with that redistribution, that's how peltola wins. she, the democrat won enough of nick begich's second choices of the voters who picked begich, enough of them picked peltola as their second choice over sarah palin. why? what else is playing into this? obviously the palin factor. what was a component in this campaign that her opponents were using against her was that sarah palin left the governor's office back in 2009, you'll remember. she kind of walked out on alaska, sort of the frame put around her. that's part of the baggage she carries with sort of the overall national baggage of the palin persona that still lingers for her. and it is peltola who makes history now. not only as the first democrat in all these years that yo

>> mark do y-do -- why do you think sarah palin lost tonight? >> i think there is a lot of baggage and there is a larger conversation whether this speaks to a larger trend line. in the mid texas, since the dobbs decision, democrats have overperformed in a number of races now. obviously, sara pulen, is a sui generis character and not necessarily representative of a candidate somewhere else in the country, and having said that, it is a truly troubling trend line for republicans in the last few weeks, partly because it is another several quasi--freak show candidate that comes from the trump tradition, the trump mold that voters seem to be showing time and time again, they're pretty sick of. so that's kind of the problematic situation also. but bottom line, the seat has been red since 1620 or whatever and now flipping blue and a bottom line good night for the democrats. >> and she lost not because of ranked choice voting but because her your favorable rating is so high. it bears mentioning on august 8, the day the d.o.j. searched mar-a-lago, donald

the most surprising example of which is probably former governor sarah palin.the two say they bonded as expected others working in the state capital of the same time. and although palin admits that the two have very different viewpoints, she has said that mary peltola is a beautiful soul who has a heart for alaska. in any other state, the sort of friendship might seem surprising, but this is alaska, and doing the unexpected has kind of become her thing. during her campaign, she vocally supported abortion rights, she also voiced support for universal background checks while campaigning in a pro gun state. and in the end it works, voters have elected her to finish the term of the late congressman don young. she is now the first native -- joining me now is democratic congresswoman-elect, we mary peltola have alaska. i know you're not tired of hearing the insured democratic congresswoman-elect, am i right? >> thank you so much, alex. no, it hasn't gotten old yet. >> good. first, congratulations. second, let's start talking about what went down. for people who are t

another trump backed candidate, sarah palin, lost her race last night.there are questions whether you can read too much into that and what it foreshadows for republicans this november. what do you think? >> yeah, it builds on the larger trends. it's not just that palin race in isolation, it is a repeated example. you have the special election race in new york. you have individual referendums across the country where democratic enthusiasm has risen. that's probably universally recognized. you have seen the backlash after the dobbs decision fuel democrats. and you're seeing weak republican candidates not getting the trump boost. trump strategy's can work because he finds a voter that will come out for him. it's not clear that that same type of voter will come out for a sarah palin, will come out for a blake masters or a j.d. vance in ohio. they are hoping that this race becomes nationalized, that these individual races become wrapped up in the larger d versus r battle of polarization. in alas kaka, it builds on the larger trend where democrats are feeling

i think sarah palin would have had a better chance.voting, she would have a better chance, especially in the special election when they vie for the full-time seat. alaska, one of the few places that implemented this approach. it was implemented in part by lisa murkowski will have a better chance in her race and her re-election chances because of this voting system. but it's not the only state that does this. i think you look at some place like virginia, governor glen young won to this system. it's understandable that many republicans are angry about it because it gave mary petola a leg up here. and broadly looking at this race, it shows how the republican cannot take a lazy approach. palin was embracing donald trump. but they didn't do much to boost them in this race and what led to the rise of petola. it will be interesting to see if petola can hold this ahead of the general election as they vie in a couple months. but it was a huge win and a huge success for democrats. >> daniel, i want to go to you on the broader picture and what it

want sarah palin. got that victory. it is a victory for ranked choice voting. it gives you a lane for people in the middle. as for the larger climate, it has been pretty cle for a month or two now, we have had a couple of special elections that democrats have won. they are outperforming in this race, alaska 50 more points than the median -- 15 more points republican than the median american. that is a pretty big sweep. it's not to say it cannot sweep back but abortion is a real issue. democrats are moving out and people are happier with biden than they were. there has been a summer tide on the democrat side. judy: she stressed with me that alaska voters do not like partisanship. they are looking for politicians who talk about the issues. jonathan: and clearly that is the case because she won. i think we will find out in november whether that is the case across the country. there are a couple of hurdles in the way of democrats repeating nationwide. i mean, gerrymandering is going to make it super tough.

you beat sarah palin who is a very divisive figure, a very ultra maga figure. you defeated her signaled to some people that maybe there's an exhaustion with that. do you think there's an exhaustion with that, and what are you sort of bracing yourself for in dealing with this congress? >> well, i do think there's an appetite for folks who want to bring people together and focus on the commonality. we all want good houses and good schools for our kids and jobs that pay a livable wage and healthy economy, healthy environment, social security. we all want those things. and i am very sensitive about the way in which maga people feel disenfranchised, forgotten, left behind. i think so many different segments of our population feel that way, and now caucasians are feeling that way. and men are feeling that way. so i think that really signals to us that across america, we have just got to do better at making sure that we're talking about how we're all in this together. a rising tide lifts all boats. we have a very diverse population, but we have a common future. and we

we saw sarah palin laws. ok. -- sarah palin lost. ok. it may help us elect more candidates that are may be more representative of their constituencies. >> so, governor, your experience is instructive. you could not have been elected twice if you did not connect with republicans. what is the secret sauce that politicians can use to do that? governess sibelius: we are so in some ways i do think it's about people's having you know, eventually a body of work that can counter the whatever tag people are trying to put on them and that's very helpful. havingpeople like you is helpful . i was benefited when i started running statewide for insurance commissioner. my married name definitely helped because keith is a popular republican dying and i remember the first time i went out west to a farm show and people would say related to keith, yes . some guy came up to me and said house keith and i said no complaints and this kid with me said isn't he dead? yes, but i don't need to be the one to tell him .
