The Night Texas Turned Blue, Florida’s Model and the Post-Midterm Reality
Podcasts > Mike Gallagher Podcast
Wednesday, November 4, 2026
Texas turned blue, Florida stayed red, and the Republican Party is facing some serious questions after a brutal midterm night. Mike breaks down the political fallout, examines what Texas’ shift could mean for border security and cooperation with ICE, and contrasts it with Ron DeSantis’ results in Florida, including the passage of Amendment Three. He also looks ahead to 2028, explaining why he believes DeSantis has emerged as a major contender while warning that Republicans cannot simply blame the economy, gas prices or bad candidates for their losses. The message to the GOP is clear: stop making excuses, start delivering, and learn from this defeat before voters get another chance to weigh in.
