When Erika Kullberg's law firm refused to accommodate a family emergency, she knew she had to quit. Kullberg left her law firm after she was denied an extension on a work assignment despite being in the middle of a family emergency. When Kullberg left her law firm — and her salary with it — these are the steps she took to ensure she'd still be financially secure. "I had a number of months I was very, very comfortable with, and so I made sure that that was saved up." "Ever since I was at a law firm, I was really frugal," she said.

In today’s edition, senior politics reporter Alex Seitz-Wald breaks down the long-standing Democratic truisms that were challenged by the results of the 2024 elections. Here are five of the party’s core assumptions that have been challenged by the 2024 election outcome:1. Higher turnout benefits Democrats: Democrats have long taken for granted a simple truism: The more people who vote, the better for Democrats. NBC News exit polls show Trump won voters without college degrees 56%-42%, while he narrowly won voters with family incomes of $30,000 to $100,000 annually. But Trump won both the Electoral College and popular vote this year as Harris’ performance fell in those Democratic bastions.
