The Guardian's editorial argues that after the 2026 midterms, Republicans are doubling down on Trumpism rather than changing course, though it says Trump voters are split between a Maga base that wants more and moderates who stayed home. It notes Trump briefly sounded conciliatory before questioning the result, replaced chief of staff Susie Wiles with Stephen Miller, and that House Republicans chose Jim Jordan as leader and blocked Pete Hegseth's impeachment; it urges Democrats to use their new power for accountability.
