New Leaders Emerge for 2028

A rout. A tsunami. A landslide. Whatever you call it, Democrats won big in the midterm elections. What happens next? Our politics round table regulars — the national politics writer Michelle Cottle and the columnists Jamelle Bouie and David French — were at the Brooklyn Public Library on Thursday for a live taping of “The Opinions.” They unpacked the results and looked ahead to what they mean for the next two years, the future of both parties and the 2028 presidential race.
