Chris Hayes Has 1 Key Reminder To Everyone 'Committed' To Stopping Trump

The MSNBC anchor emphasized that it's "really important" not to concede that "politics don't matter" after Trump's victory.

MSNBC anchor Chris Hayes declared that “public opinion still matters” on Wednesday as he pointed to challenges that Donald Trump and Republicans could still face despite the president-elect’s election win.

“The most important thing, to those of us who are committed to stopping them, is to remember their success is not foreordained in any way,” Hayes said. “They’re going to try and there are going to be a lot of people who try to stop them. And the outcome of that is as yet undetermined.”

Hayes, who noted that Trump’s win showed voters’ “rejection of the status quo,” said Trump and Republicans are interested in interpreting the win as a “mandate for all of their worst governing impulses, all the Stephen Miller-style Project 2025 dark fantasies of smashing the administrative state.”

“But those ideas were never popular,” said Hayes, who added that Trump tried to “distance himself every chance he had” from the conservative policy blueprint.

The MSNBC anchor later turned to Trump’s first term where the president-elect tried to “do lots of bad things and failed to do them.”
