Not long ago, the possibility of the Democratic Party taking back the Senate in 2026 seemed laughable. But with President Donald Trump's approval numbers sinking over the war in Iran and economic stressors impacting numerous Americans, the Democrats' path to the upper chamber appears to be widening. A lot has to go right, however, and one error could collapse their chances. They need to retain their current seats and net four. We discussed the

Socialism is surging across the country, and the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) is emerging as one of the movement's fastest-growing political forces. Several DSA-affiliated candidates are currently running for elected office; two just won congressional primaries in New York on June 23; another, Nithya Raman, will face incumbent Karen Bass in the Los Angeles mayoral race. Nearly 170 DSA-endorsed candidates have won elections nationwide since 2018. Democratic socialists now run Seattle and New York City, and one will likely lead the nation's capital next year, too. Much of the trend seems driven by voters in big cities looking for handouts, not a revolution. To the Democratic Socialists of America, however, the rise appears to be part of a much larger plan.

An insurgent wave is crushing the Democratic Party establishment this primary season and startling the old guard. Left-wing voters are increasingly turning to progressives and socialists over anybody with ties to Congress. One of the most notable upsets happened last Tuesday when Melat Kiros, a 29-year-old democratic socialist, defeated 15-term incumbent Rep. Diana DeGette in Colorado. The week before, a slate of candidates endorsed by the Democratic Socialists of America won New York primaries for the state legislature and Congress; two incumbent congressional Democrats, Dan Goldman and Adriano Espaillat, lost their seats. The trend is not subtle. More incumbent Democrats are staring down challengers in tough races, too, and some will likely fall. The base apparently views its party as toxic and wants a total transformation. Their efforts, however, may cause it more harm than good.

Enterprise system transformations such as enterprise resource planning (ERP), customer relationship management (CRM), and human capital management (HCM) are

On June 30, the Supreme Court struck down President Donald Trump's executive order attempting to abolish birthright citizenship, calling it unconstitutional. Trump signed the executive order in January 2025 to end automatic citizenship for babies born in the United States to parents who are in the country illegally or temporarily. It was supposed to go into effect 30 days later, but several federal judges blocked the administration from enforcing the order while challenges to it moved through the lower courts. Trump then asked the Supreme Court to weigh in, and now it has, delivering a narrow 5-4 ruling, just one vote away from repealing the Fourteenth Amendment. So, with the decision behind us, what changed?

So much attention has been paid to the socialists winning primaries this year that few people have ostensibly noticed that, in the majority of competitive House districts, center-left Democrats have dominated the primaries. Radicals have won several nominations – and may win more – but not in the races most likely to determine who holds a majority in the lower chamber next year. In fact, control of the House will probably be decided in a relatively small number of suburban swing districts, many of which have establishment-backed moderate Democrats facing Trump-endorsed incumbents. Any one of the following races could tilt the balance of power this November.

Identity politics in a hard hat. The story, in brief Graham Platner's Senate campaign may be over, but the Democratic Party's ploy to win over working-class voters lives on.
