For months, we’ve been asking whether the South is changing. On election night, we got our answer. Long Play returns to Texas for the final days of the midterms, following the voters and candidates challenging decades of political expectations, and reconnecting with voices from across the South as the results roll in.

Featuring: Gina Hinojosa, Johnny Garcia, Evan Smith, Mitch Landrieu
