taz.de reports Bernd Pickert's account of the 2026 US midterms as a Democratic landslide: at least 7 Senate seats, a House majority passing the Speaker's office from Mike Johnson to Hakeem Jeffries, and five governorships flipped, including Texas. Pickert judges it a clear vote against Donald Trump's politics and forecasts Trump will now become even more dangerous, while the California billionaires' tax appears headed for defeat and two Senate races, including Mississippi's, remain undecided.
