Goddamn, That Was Satisfying | Defector
In a Defector column, Barry Petchesky relishes a 2026 midterm blue wave not seen since 1974: Senate wins for Jon Ossoff and Abdul El-Sayed, Texas going Democratic, and a D.C. democratic socialist mayor, which he calls a referendum on Trump and Republican rule. He expects North Carolina's House, gerrymandered 11-3 for Republicans in 2025, to end up about 10-4 for Democrats.
