Democrats Flip Two More Governor’s Offices in Massive Win
The New Republic's post-midterm roundup reports Democrats won the Kansas and Alaska governorships — Cindy Holscher succeeding term-limited Laura Kelly, CNN calling Alaska for Jonathan Kreiss-Tompkins — and argues the 2026 results mark a sea change giving Democrats state-level majorities unseen in decades. It also covers JD Vance and Marco Rubio distancing themselves from Trump, Vance reportedly weighing shelving his 2028 campaign, Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang's resignation as his affair with suspected Chinese spy Alice Huang surfaced, Tom Emmer's calls to have Ilhan Omar removed from Congress, and Trump's interest in military action against Cuba.
