An NPR analysis takes up what Democrats do with their 2026 midterm gains, after flipping dozens of House districts and at least seven Senate seats in mainly Trump-won communities, winning a majority of governorships, and electing Georgia's first Black female governor on turbocharged Black turnout. DNC chairman Ken Martin calls the results a massive repudiation of Donald Trump and the party's biggest cycle ever, Raphael Warnock says the South is central to Democrats' future, and NPR reports Hakeem Jeffries is expected to become the first Black House speaker.
