Cover image: SPOTLIGHT © France 24 07:53 Issued on: 15/11/2026 - 16:40 From the show Following the 2026 US midterm elections, Gavin Lee is pleased to welcome Politico Senior National Politics Reporter Lauren Fedor. She discusses the growing number of Democratic women elected to Congress and governorships, particularly mothers of young children. “There was a realisation across the map that perhaps moms were the best messenger for this,” she explains, pointing to voters' concerns about “the cost of living, affordability, how to make ends meet.” Fedor also describes a change in Democratic campaign messaging following the party's 2024 presidential defeat. She suggests that Democrats have come to recognise that “identity politics is maybe not the way forward,” while their focus on living costs helped produce electoral gains in both 2025 and 2026. Looking ahead to the 2028 presidential race, it remains to be seen how Democrats will "deliver on the promises that they made to voters”. Video by:
