After the Avalanche: America's New Political Geography

​Join PPI on Tuesday, November 10 for a post-election forum examining what drove Democrats’ success in the 2026 midterms and how the party can use its gains to deliver for voters.

One week after Election Day, we'll break down what led to the sweeping victories, which candidates and messages resonated in tough races, and what lessons Democrats should take from the results. The discussion will also look at how Democrats can move from a campaign defined by opposition to President Trump to leading on a positive, pragmatic governing agenda in the next Congress.

The program will be moderated by PPI President Will Marshall and feature key insights from Governor Laura Kelly (D-KS), Congressman Jason Crow (CO-06), DCCC Recruitment Co-Chair for the 2026 cycle; Molly Murphy, President of Impact Research; Doug Sosnik, Political Strategist and Senior Advisor at Brunswick Group; and McKenzie Wilson, Director of External Affairs at Blue Rose Research.
