Tuesday, Nov. 4, was a huge night for Democrats! Zohran Mamdani, Abigail Spanberger, and Mikie Sherrill all claimed victory in their respective races. At the College Democrats’ watch party, one student exclaimed, “This is the worst night for Republicans since 2020!” But was it? Perhaps not. In fact, this might turn out to be one of the best nights for Republicans and most consequential nights for both parties since Donald Trump’s reelection last November.

Acclaimed fictional coach Ted Lasso once said the happiest animal in the world is a goldfish. Why? Because it has a 10-second memory. The Panthers need to have the memory of a goldfish and keep confidence high following their struggles at the New England Challenge.

In a time when political identity feels like a team sport, it’s hard to picture a Republican being called a liberal without some irony. Yet in the Green Mountain State, that phrase has historically represented an entire political tradition, one founded on independence and a sense of duty rather than strict ideological adherence.
