Defender Election Wrap 2026
A blue wave has reshaped the nation. Join ReShonda Tate as she breaks down the historic 2026 midterms and the groundbreaking wins for Black candidates nationwide.
Defender Managing Editor ReShonda Tate breaks down the 2026 midterms, where a “blue-nami” swept across America.
In Texas, James Talarico defeated Trump-backed Ken Paxton to become the first Democrat elected to the U.S. Senate from Texas since 1988, and Gina Hinojosa unseated three-term Gov. Greg Abbott. Black candidates also made history. Keisha Lance Bottoms became America’s first Black woman elected governor, Byron Donalds became Florida’s first Black governor, and Maryland’s Wes Moore won re-election. In Washington, Democrats’ gains put Hakeem Jeffries on the verge of becoming the first Black speaker of the House. And after backing losing Republicans, President Trump started distancing himself from the defeats.
