Description

After Democrats win the House and Senate in the 2026 midterms, Reid Hoffman sees a clear demand: an economy that works for everyday Americans. He and Aria Finger examine Democratic breakthroughs in Texas and across the South, and what those candidates got right. Reid tackles the tension in his own political giving: why he keeps donating while backing efforts to get big money out of elections. They also discuss why Elon Musk’s spending fell short and what tech leaders who embraced the Trump administration must do to rebuild trust. From campaign donations to data centers, the conversation returns to one question: what are you doing for the American people?
