Democrats had their best night in a while on Tuesday, as an anti-Trump message helped the party pick-up two governorship, and end super-majorities in Virginia and Georgia.

There were no statewide races in North Carolina, however, progressive candidates fared well in Raleigh, Durham, Greensboro, Fayetteville, and Charlotte.

On this week's review of the political scene Becki Gray and Rob Schofield review the election results, and weigh-in on whether litigation is a viable tool toward helping in the opioid epidemic.
