Vogue Editors On The Most Compelling Midterm Races

Election day is upon us. Less than 24 hours before the midterm elections, New York Times Congressional Correspondent and occasional Vogue essayist Annie Karni stopped into the podcast studio to chat with Chloe and Taylor Antrim about the possible outcomes of some of this term’s most contentious races.

With an eye toward some of the closely-watched races in Alaska, Michigan, Florida, Texas, and Maine, Karni laid out what the first 100 hours and beyond might look like for Hakeem Jeffries if Democrats take back the House of Representatives. The midterms are also a time to look ahead at the 2028 election cycle, and the group discussed the possibility of Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez running for President. Karni also weighed in on the question of another Trump impeachment. “It's going to be a frustrating topic all of next year. Impeachment is one of the things that's not a unifying position.”

They also revisited her popular Vogue essay (vogue.com/article/some-personal-news-divorce-e…) published earlier this year about her compulsion to tell everyone from Chuck Schumer to Steve Bannon about her divorce. As a journalist, Karni isn’t accustomed to writing about herself and it gave her a great appreciation for those who do. “And I didn't really mean to be brave, but a lot of people said I was brave,” she chuckled, “but mostly I was overwhelmed by people sharing their own stories. People clearly found it relatable.”
