    Analysis: A wave is building for Democrats. Republicans are building a wall to stop it. | CNN Politics (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    The 2026 election will be decided where the wave meets the wall. Signs are accumulating that the blue wave of Democratic support this year may be even higher than in the 2018 election, when a backlash against President Donald Trump’s tumultuous first term carried the party back into control of the House of Representatives. But the defensive wall that Republicans are constructing against that Democratic tide also looks bigger than in 2018. The height of the wave gives Democrats legitimate reaso

    The heartland Democrat is making a comeback. Democrats this year are seriously contesting more races for governor and senator across the industrial Midwest and Farm Belt than at any point since the early years of Barack Obama’s presidency.

Arguments about Israel have marked a sharp dividing line in both the Michigan Senate primary between centrist Rep. Haley Stevens and progressive Abdul El-Sayed, and a Missouri rematch between firebrand former US Rep. Cori Bush and Rep. Wesley Bell, a more mainstream figure, who ousted her in a primar

    Why the Trump effect is different in 2026 than 2018 | CNN Politics (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    The brightest warning light for Democrats in this year’s election is the consistent finding in early national and state polls that they are not winning nearly as large a share of voters who disapprove of President Donald Trump’s performance as they did during his first term. Paradoxically, that dynamic also could represent a major danger for Republicans if it proves unsustainable through November.
