Things we can learn from the video

Press to jump

0:10Victory speeches from Ossoff, Moore, Pritzker and Shapiro introduce speculation about the Democratic presidential field.
2:42The panel considers El-Sayed's Michigan victory speech and comparisons with Barack Obama.
3:06Hemmer introduces Vance's written reaction, summarizing his explanation that the war caused Republican losses.
4:02The discussion broadens to corruption, war policy and congressional stock trading as voter concerns.

Jon Ossoff speaks of dawn on the horizon. Wes Moore says his state can lead in a way the nation will follow. JB Pritzker describes another mountain still to climb. Fox News brings their victory speeches together as the starting point for a question already facing Democrats: who could carry their momentum into the next presidential election?

The studio discussion, featuring Dana Perino, Bill Hemmer and Martha MacCallum, has drawn about a million views since yesterday. Unlike a results-only recap, it looks ahead to the Democratic presidential field while examining Republicans' explanations for defeat.

Josh Shapiro also appears in the opening montage. Later, the panel highlights Michigan senator-elect Abdul El-Sayed's victory speech and discusses comparisons with Barack Obama. The names are presented as subjects of presidential speculation, not as an announced slate of candidates.

The response promised in the video's title arrives just past the halfway point. Hemmer brings up Vice President JD Vance's post on X and summarizes its diagnosis: "He says the reason we lost is the war."

Vance does not appear for an interview in the segment. His written reaction becomes the basis for a wider studio discussion about winning voters back, with corruption, war policy and congressional stock trading among the issues the panel considers.
