Democrats' midterm gains could sideline Electoral College by 2028

Democrats achieved landslide midterm wins, seizing majorities in the House and Senate. By securing governing trifectas in Pennsylvania, Michigan, Arizona, Wisconsin, and Nevada, the party can potentially replace the Electoral College with a national popular vote by 2028 without constitutional amendments. DNC Chairman Ken Martin attributed these successes to a big tent approach and the absence of purity politics, suggesting this strategy will continue to expand blue power leading into the next presidential election cycle.
