In This Episode:
In this post-midterms 2026 Election Day episode, Sharline interviews Steve about what happened on Tuesday, why Dems were able to take back control of the House and Senate and much more in such spectacular fashion, and where we go from here.
Steve connects the results to decades of work for multiracial democracy, including the legacy of his late wife, Susan Sandler, whose support helped organizers build power across the South and Southwest.
They explore the forces behind the wins, from Texas and Georgia to unexpected results in places like South Carolina and Kansas, and Sharline shares excerpts from Susan Sandler’s writings on legacy, impact, and contribution.
