Sasha Abramsky writes in The Nation that the 2026 midterms delivered a sweeping rebuke of Republicans, with Democrats flipping House and Senate seats, sweeping every statewide race in Texas — James Talarico beating Ken Paxton, Gina Hinojosa unseating Greg Abbott — and winning governor's races in Nevada, Arizona, and California. He argues Texas, transformed by Latino voter mobilization, is now California in the late 1990s, and that Trump's coalition was shattered beyond repair.
