Victor Davis Hanson and Carol Roth Discuss Economic and Political Outlook Following Midterm Elections
On November 6, 2026, Hoover Institution senior fellow Victor Davis Hanson and former investment banker Carol Roth appeared on The Glenn Beck Program to discuss the economic and political ramifications of the recent midterm elections. The discussion followed a significant drop in the Dow Jones Industrial Average, described as its biggest hit since the COVID-19 pandemic, which resulted in substantial losses for average 401(k) accounts. This economic downturn was attributed to Democrats regaining a majority in Congress, leading to concerns about potential policy changes. Specifically, there are threats to target AI data centers and President Trump's energy deals. Hanson and Roth analyzed what the next two years might look like for President Trump, who will now have to contend with a Democrat-controlled House and Senate, and how these political shifts could impact the affordability crisis.
