The midterms were a resounding rebuke of President Donald Trump, with Democrats winning majorities in both the House and Senate and making astonishing gains deep in Republican strongholds.

John Prideaux, The Economist’s executive editor, is joined by a trio of regulars from Checks and Balance, our American politics podcast, to dissect the 2026 midterm results. They explore the Democrats’ extraordinary win, the turbulent chapter ahead for the Republican party, and what comes next as America prepares for the 2028 general election.
