“A so-called “Blue Tsunami” swept the 2026 US midterm elections and delivered a stinging rebuke to Donald Trump. But will the Democrats actually do anything with their victory?”
“Professor David Gibbs of the University of Arizona joins to look beneath the surface. Gibbs argues this was above all a vote against war, as Americans connected Trump’s Iran war to soaring fuel and food prices. Yet the Democrats, he warns, are just as pro-war as Trump, deeply entwined with the CIA and the military-industrial complex. We ask whether the new progressive and DSA wing, from Abdul El-Sayed to Zohran Mamdani, can break that consensus or will simply be co-opted. The so-called “Brahmin left” that focused on identity politics instead of economics has abandoned working people. If the left fails to mobilize the working class, the right will do it instead.”
