The REAL Winners and Losers
Robert Reich's Substack essay takes the big picture on the 2026 midterms, naming a diverse, equitable, and inclusive America, the new South, and decency as the real winners, and Donald Trump, his Republican sycophants, the mega donors, and Elon Musk as the losers. He credits wins by Keisha Lance Bottoms, Gina Hinojosa, Xavier Becerra, Deb Haaland, Amy Acton, and others to voters rejecting attack ads and smears, and forecasts that a Democratic Congress may question Musk's Starlink monopoly.
