Senator Elizabeth Warren: Why Democrats Won the Midterms
Time · Sen. Elizabeth Warren ·
"Democrats won by being populist economic fighters who were unafraid to call out the corrupt politicians and corporate interests," writes Senator Elizabeth Warren.
Democrats won their largest congressional victory since the 1976 Watergate election—overwhelmingly flipping both the House and Senate. And while the dance music is still playing, a debate has already burst forward over whether those election results were merely a rebuke of President Donald Trump’s failures, and whether it was progressives or moderates who produced the secret recipe for Democrats’ success.
These are the wrong questions. Anyone seeking to understand the midterm’s lessons should start here: Democrats won by being populist economic fighters who were unafraid to call out the corrupt politicians and corporate interests who have rigged the system at the expense of everyone else.
Now, Democrats must deliver. Yes, even with Donald Trump in the White House.
