The midterm elections are over, and two more years of Congressional gridlock are likely in store. Republicans have taken a narrow majority in the House, while Democrats have held the Senate.

Ralph Nader joins The Chris Hedges Report for a postmortem on the 2022 midterm elections, and to discuss how we can retake Congress from corporate influence.

Ralph Nader is a consumer advocate and former presidential candidate.
