FOR FREE PEOPLE

Election Night with The Free Press!

Our live show begins tonight at 7 p.m. EST—and we’ve got a lineup you won’t find anywhere else.

This presidential campaign has been uniquely insane, featuring the criminal conviction of one candidate, the meltdown of another on the debate stage, two assassination attempts, and the Joe Biden-Kamala Harris switcheroo. Not to mention “brat summer,” cat ladies, coconut trees, and Peanut the squirrel. But finally, tonight, the only thing left to do is count the votes. 

A simple, straightforward, and uncontroversial process, right? 

As the results come in—and we (hopefully!) learn who wins—join us for an epic live show streaming on X and YouTube. We’ll start at 7 p.m. EST, and we’ll go until the wee hours . . . or until the drinking game gets the best of us. 

Michael Moynihan, Batya Ungar-Sargon, and yours truly will host, accompanied by an all-star—and uniquely Free Press—lineup of politicians, pollsters, pundits, podcasters, and others. 

We’ve got Coleman Hughes and Nellie Bowles, Dan Crenshaw and Andrew Yang, Vivek Ramaswamy and Marianne Williamson, Catherine Herridge and Abigail Shrier, Michael Shellenberger and John McWhorter, Frank Luntz and Frank Bruni. The girls from Red Scare. The boys from The Fifth Column. And. . . Dr. Phil?! 

Whether you’re excited, nervous, or despairing in anticipation of the results, or if you’re Team Trump, in the KHive, or a committed double-hater, we promise there’ll be something to love about tonight’s show.

You know what you’ll get from MSNBC or Fox News. If you want the kind of smart, independent discourse you expect from The Free Press, tune in. We promise no one will have a meltdown and declare the end of the republic.  

So, gather some friends, grab a bottle of something strong—and we’ll see you at 7 p.m. EST.

Welcome to The FP Community!

Our comments are an editorial product for our readers to have smart, thoughtful conversations and debates — the sort we need more of in America today. The sort of debate we love.   

We have standards in our comments section just as we do in our journalism. If you’re being a jerk, we might delete that one. And if you’re being a jerk for a long time, we might remove you from the comments section. 

Common Sense was our original name, so please use some when posting. Here are some guidelines:

  • We have a simple rule for all Free Press staff: act online the way you act in real life. We think that’s a good rule for everyone.
  • We drop an occasional F-bomb ourselves, but try to keep your profanities in check. We’re proud to have Free Press readers of every age, and we want to model good behavior for them. (Hello to Intern Julia!)
  • Speaking of obscenities, don’t hurl them at each other. Harassment, threats, and derogatory comments that derail productive conversation are a hard no.
  • Criticizing and wrestling with what you read here is great. Our rule of thumb is that smart people debate ideas, dumb people debate identity. So keep it classy. 
  • Don’t spam, solicit, or advertise here. Submit your recommendations to tips@thefp.com if you really think our audience needs to hear about it.
