24 seats that Democrats flipped were in places @BernieSanders stopped.

It’s no coincidence that the dominant and winning message in these districts was about fighting oligarchy. Bernie is unquestionably the leader of the Democratic Party in 2026.

[Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders]

What the Fighting Oligarchy Tour showed was that people across this country — Democrats, Republicans and independents — reject oligarchy, reject authoritarianism and reject kleptocracy.

Thank you to everyone who attended and was inspired to change the direction of our nation.

[Sen. Bernie Sanders @SenSanders]

The Democratic Party needs a new and bold direction. I will not support Chuck Schumer’s reelection as Democratic leader.

[Simon Rosenblum-Larson @simonrl18]

Time for new leadership ⏰

66% want Medicare for All
61% want a billionaire wealth tax
57% want a $20/hour minimum wage
63% want a data center moratorium
58% want to end military aid to Israel
73% want to ban super PACs
79% want a 10% credit card interest rate cap

No more excuses. Democrats must deliver.

Miners at IMIP, world’s largest nickel mine site with 120k+ workers have begun a sit-in at after days of protest for a fair contract.

Workers say there are monthly deaths due to lack of safety measures. Morowali is the world’s largest source of nickel for EV batteries and steel

[Jeremy Slevin @jeremyslevin]

Democrats did not sound like this before Bernie Sanders ran for president and anyone pretending otherwise is obviously full of shit

[Simon Rosenblum-Larson @simonrl18]

Not a coincidence we flipped Texas with a candidate talking like this ⬇️

[Jeff Stein @jstein_sun]

James Talarico’s basic diagnosis of American politics looks identical to me to that of AOC and Sanders

[Simon Rosenblum-Larson @simonrl18]

The Fighting Oligarchy tour named the problem that powered Tuesday’s tsunami. The closing message was that the political and economic system in America is rigged and broken, not just Trump = Bad.

The American people voted for transformative change, will Democrats deliver?

[Jeremy Slevin @jeremyslevin]

Hard to overstate the impact of the 2025 Fighting Oligarchy tour on Tuesday night’s results

[Simon Rosenblum-Larson @simonrl18]

Chills

[Dr. Abdul El-Sayed @AbdulElSayed]

Gimme three months and his golf buddies in Florida wouldn’t even vote for him.

I’ll smoke him by 7. Bet on it.

[Eric Blanc @_ericblanc]

This was the message that flipped Texas, not milquetoast centrism

"Republicans and Democrats alike sold the false Gospel of trickle-down economics"

[Simon Rosenblum-Larson @simonrl18]

Don’t look now… but a Bernie Sanders-endorsed UAW reformer is winning a heavily Republican seat in Northwest Indiana

[Jonah Furman @JonahFurman]

I’m sorry but this is actually the biggest story of the night.

Scott is a Ford worker out of Local 551 who was instrumental in reforming the UAW, winning direct elections in the union, and electing Shawn Fain

The best working class politics story of the night

[Jonah Furman @JonahFurman]

The UAW ran its largest member-run program in recent history this cycle

Thousands of UAW member volunteers

Knocked 300,000+ doors

Made nearly 1mil calls

Endorsed in key primaries

Sending multiple members to Congress, statehouses, and more

[Simon Rosenblum-Larson @simonrl18]

UAW-heavy district home of @ShawnFainUAW

This union is a MACHINE!!

Indiana U.S. House District 5

Hamilton County, IN (Early Vote):
🔴 2024: Spartz +4
🔵 2026: Ford +27

This 31-point swing toward Democrats is significant. Victoria Spartz, whom VoteHub rates Likely R, is now in serious trouble. IN-05 is a genuinely competitive race.
