I'm sure some critics of the church would say, "Focus on evangelism and stay out of politics." Well, consider Jesus's Cultural Commission in Matthew 28: "Teach them to observe all things that I have commanded you." The truth of God and obedience to it is not just a private matter.

The November 3 midterm elections largely devastated conservatives, as a blue wave rolled over the country, seizing Republican strongholds. The performance of the pro-choice party subset proved no exception.

Virtually nobody had the race for U.S. Senate in Mississippi on the 2026 battleground list; the race received not a single independent poll. Senator Cindy Hyde-Smith (R) has won the seat twice, most recently securing it by 10 points in 2020. Yet, days after election day, the race remains too close to call, and Hyde-Smith is currently trailing challenger Scott Colom (D) by less than 2,000 votes. While Democrats enjoyed an unexpectedly massive wave, how did Mississippi, of all places, become one of the most contested seats? The answer reinforces the maxim that all politics are local, while also poignantly tapping into a nationwide phenomenon.

Republicans, led by President Donald Trump and Vice President J.D. Vance, referred to him repeatedly during the 2026 midterm election campaign as "Talafreako," but that language didn't keep Texas voters from making James Talarico the first Democratic senator from the Lone Star state in more than three decades. 

Far-left activist groups like the Human Rights Campaign are already calling on Democrats to pass pro-transgender legislation like the Equality Act. But a closer look at the 2026 election results would caution the incoming congressional majorities against interpreting the election as a mandate to do so. Although American voters elected Democrats in overwhelming numbers, voters in Democrat-controlled states still voted against transgender extremism.

Some countries, due to their size, geostrategic position, or resources, constantly capture the headlines of the mainstream Western press. Others, however, remain shielded from scourges like socialism - championing innovation and the free market - yet they do so quietly, away from the spotlight.

The sun still came up Wednesday morning, despite a dark night for the Republican soul. And while the view of Washington, D.C. looks the same from these office windows, the reality is that the landscape of the city has radically changed. By almost biblical proportions, good men and women were sent packing, the collateral damage of America's final judgment on Donald Trump. Both parties have been here before, digging through the rubble of another agonizing chapter of self-reflection. But there were lessons for both sides in Tuesday's verdict. And the question that will shape everything going forward is this: which party learned them?

Editorial Director and Senior Writer, The Washington Stand

Voters on Tuesday delivered a stunning sweeping victory for Democratic incumbents and challengers across America,  giving them substantial majorities in both the Senate and House and presenting President Donald Trump with the prospect of facing a flood of time-consuming subpoenas, hostile congressional inquiries, and impeachment hearings.

President Donald Trump may order another round of strikes against Iran after Tuesday's midterm elections. Before he does, the Pentagon owes Americans straight answers about eight months of fighting.

Senior Fellow for National Security

While election night proved devastating for Republicans, the midterm results showed some states voting to protect the security of the democratic process. Ballot measures to maintain election integrity have been adopted in eight states, policies largely associated with the conservative school of thought, despite the overwhelming blue wave election results.

Writer

The order had already been issued. An entire people faced destruction, and the man responsible held extraordinary power. Yet one woman, who had not sought the responsibility before her, might be able to change what happened next. Speaking up could cost her life, while remaining silent offered the possibility of safety and comfort within the palace. She had a difficult decision to make, and the stakes could not have been higher.
