Sebastian Moll's taz.de article portrays the Democrats' new generation of stars after the 2026 midterms, in which the party won back both chambers of Congress: among the winners are Jon Ossoff in the Senate, Abdul El-Sayed in Michigan, Gina Hinojosa as Texas's first Latina governor, James Talarico, pediatrician Annie Andrews, and Chris Pappas, the first openly gay senator. Moll sees a direct line from Barack Obama to these millennials, who use social media in a left-populist yet authentic way, and expects Ossoff and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez to be the party's most concrete contenders for the 2028 presidential candidacy, while Bernd Pickert expects Donald Trump to become even more dangerous.
