Republican pollster Frank Luntz analyzed the results of Tuesday's midterm elections to determine the message voters had sent.

The conditions were ripe for the GOP to take back majorities in both the House and Senate, but each remains in play for Democrats, and Luntz told MSNBC's "Morning Joe" that voters are sick of the "chaos" that Donald Trump introduced to U.S. politics.

MSNBC's Joe Scarborough said right-wing extremism had cost Republicans dearly in several states they could have won, especially in Michigan, and he was soaking in a "schadenfreude bubble bath."

Gov. Gretchen Whitmer was re-elected, and Democrats kept the secretary of state and attorney general offices and, for the first time in four decades, gained majorities in both chambers of Michigan's state legislature, and the "Morning Joe" host said that was a direct response to the extreme views offered by the GOP alternatives in Tuesday's midterm election.

MSNBC's Joe Scarborough said the knives are out for Donald Trump after the Republicans failed to produce a red wave.

The conditions were ripe for an overwhelming GOP midterm win, but the former president's enduring unpopularity and his poorly chosen endorsements dragged down the party among voters across the country, and the "Morning Joe" host pointed to signs that conservative media is turning on Trump.

The aftermath of the 2022 midterm elections was the topic of conversation on "The View" Wednesday morning. While the so-called "red wave" didn't manifest, the co-hosts said that the biggest loser of the night was Donald Trump.

"Never, ever, ever give up on the American people when it comes to voting," said Whoopi Goldberg. "It might not always go your way, but we will come out and do what we're supposed to do."

MSNBC's Joe Scarborough said President Joe Biden has never looked stronger after Tuesday's midterm results.

Republicans had anticipated a red wave, with voter concerns about inflation, crime and Biden's presidency, but the "Morning Joe" host said the Democratic Party's surprisingly resilient performance would boost the president's standing on the international stage -- and against Donald Trump.

Republicans may yet win narrow congressional majorities, but Fox News hosts struggled to comprehend how a "red wave" failed to materialize.

The conservative network had been assuring viewers that the GOP would take overwhelming control of Congress, but the morning after Tuesday's midterm election suggested Republicans might take a narrow majority in the House with a Senate majority still within reach, and "Fox & Friends" co-host Ainsley Earhardt was bewildered.

MSNBC's Joe Scarborough crowed over the Republican Party's failure to produce a red wave.

Republicans expected to win overwhelming majorities in the House and Senate, but instead they eked out narrow wins and saw some of Donald Trump's hand-picked conspiracy theorists lose their races, and the "Morning Joe" host said the former president was a drag on his party's chances.

Steve Bannon and the far-right have no idea what to do after seeing the so-called "red wave" turn to be a little more constipated than anticipated.

Any win at all for a Democrat isn't being believed by the right, according to MSNBC's Ben Collins, who has been watching the right on message boards all night. He first used the word "despondent" but said at one point that the real word was "catatonic."

Thanks to the swift work of a local German shepherd, police were able to track down a body found in Jackson, Mississippi.

WATP reported Tuesday that a pup was raising questions as he scampered through a neighborhood with a human arm as his new chew toy.

An FBI informant is likely to testify in the sedition trial of some of the Oath Keepers, namely the leader, Elmer Stewart Rhodes, but as a witness for the defense.

The New York Times reported that the FBI informant, Greg McWhirter, was embedded with the militia for months leading into the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol. He was ultimately serving as the "vice president" of the group, but was actually working with the FBI.

There have been minor glitches around the country for the 2022 midterm elections. In some places, machines were broken and had to be reset. In Pennsylvania, they ran out of ballots. They are all things that have happened before. But former Justice Department acting assistant attorney general for national security Mary McCord warned of impending violence.

"Certainly today, this is the culmination of more than two years of disinformation that is fueling various online threats," said McCord. Thus far, she said there hasn't been too much. There have been "some minor mechanical glitch or minor hiccups in the process, that's exploding online as being proof of some sort of fraud in the election process and something that will mean that a result that is not to the liking of certain people in this country will be blamed on a rigged election. So, what I'm worried about, and, again, I think things have gone relatively smoothly in terms of voter safety at polling places, but what I'm worried about is what will come after today when any one of these little glitches becomes the basis for baseless litigation over voter fraud and potential intimidation of the people who are in charge with counting ballots."

MSNBC's Joe Scarborough gave a hilariously overwrought and profane takedown of Republican candidate Kari Lake's attacks on democracy and the free press.

The GOP nominee for Arizona governor, who's a former TV anchor herself, slurred reporters at a campaign event as "bastards" and accused her rival, secretary of state Katie Hobbs, of scheming to steal the election, and the "Morning Joe" host unloaded on her.

A veteran counterterrorism officer warned the Republican Party has been radicalized in a way that destabilizes democracy, and he gave a chilling example of how Fox News amplifies extremism into the mainstream.

Marc Polymeropoulos, a former senior intelligence service officer at the CIA, followed up on his recent column outlining a strategy for GOP deradicalization on MSNBC's "Morning Joe," where he revealed how the conservative network twisted his words and launched a torrent of violent threats.
