The Week Democracy Struck Back

Winning an election is only the beginning.

Bill Kristol and Tom Joscelyn argue that the 2026 midterms delivered more than a backlash over prices—they were a rejection of MAGA’s exclusionary vision of America.

On this week’s It’s Happening Here, they examine the diverse coalition behind Democratic victories, the limits of culture-war attacks, and why multicultural America offers renewed hope for democracy.

But winning an election is only the beginning. Bill and Tom discuss why Democrats must turn their victories into meaningful oversight, accountability, and protection for civil liberties—and why the fight continues through Trump’s remaining two years in office.
