Imagine: It’s Wednesday, November 7. You voted in the 2018 midterm elections, and now it’s all over. So, what happened? What did it all mean? And more importantly, what’s going to come next as President Trump faces a new Congress?

On the night after the elections, join KCRW’s Left, Right & Center and New York Magazine’s Intelligencer to close the book on the midterms. Enjoy a cocktail and get the recap you need with some of the brightest political thinkers in the country – right in midtown Manhattan!

Josh Barro, Ana Marie Cox and Rich Lowry – your center, your left, and your right – will review and analyze the election results with Steve Kornacki of MSNBC and Astead Herndon of the New York Times. Then, the Left, Right & Center panel will talk with Jonathan Chait and Olivia Nuzzi of New York Magazine’s Intelligencer about what’s next for President Trump with the intensifying Mueller investigation and a new Congress.

Left, Right & Center is KCRW’s popular political radio show and podcast that’s full of civilized yet provocative conversation about the issues facing our country. And Intelligencer is New York Magazine’s new website that briefs you on all you need to know about politics, business and technology. Whether you’re celebrating a win or mourning a loss after the midterms, you’ll hear things that you agree with and things you disagree with. That’s by design, and trust us: it will be fun.
