When it comes to matching Republican gerrymandering, Democrats’ hands are largely tied—and the party itself provided the rope, Russell Berman argues. theatlantic.com/politics/archi…
Democrats have tried to be the party of good government on redistricting. But now their hands are mostly tied as they struggle to keep up with Republican gerrymandering, Russell Berman writes. theatlantic.com/politics/archi…
Democrats are relying on a familiar strategy for key 2026 Senate races: old candidates. Russell Berman on why the party thinks it’s the best option: theatlantic.com/politics/archi…

Smart story here from Elaine Godfrey and Russell Berman. theatlantic.com/politics/archi…

“New Jersey is no one’s idea of a swing state,” Russell Berman writes. This year, however, operatives in both parties believe New Jersey is an accurate barometer of how voters are reacting to the first year of Trump’s return tour in the White House: theatlantic.com/politics/archi…

“Every Democrat, including the squishes, needs to understand that this president is unpopular, becoming more unpopular by the day, and is pushing wildly unpopular proposals. This is not some 800-pound gorilla,” jim manley tells Russell Berman. tinyurl.com/544hvjyj
Although Dems remained mostly unified, few were making confident predictions of success. When I asked jim manley, a veteran of the shutdown wars, to assess their chances, he asked if he could be quoted shrugging: "It is what it is," he said. theatlantic.com/politics/archi…
Here’s why Democrats think they’re winning the shutdown fight, Russell Berman and @jonlemire report theatlantic.com/politics/archi…
With the government shutdown well into its second week, Democrats are far from folding, Russell Berman and Jonathan Lemire report. While still at an impasse, they have succeeded at elevating one key issue for the party: theatlantic.com/politics/archi…
