Question

What should Democrats do if they win the midterms, according to Alastair Campbell?

Answered from 584. Why Is Trump Losing Voters and Will Texas Turn Blue? · The Rest Is Politics · 2026-10-30

Alastair Campbell says a Democratic Congress will get its teeth back, but making everything about investigating Trump, his family and corruption could backfire. He wants an agenda on the economy and America's place in the world, and a decision between the Bernie Sanders and AOC wing and centrists. Rory Stewart pushes back that voters failed to turn on Trump after 2016 and 2020.
