Democrats Won Big on Tuesday. What Does This Mean for 2026?

from Political Breakdown · host KQED

It's the end of an era in San Francisco politics. Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi announced she'll retire from Congress after nearly four decades, marking the end of a remarkable career. Marisa and Scott talk with Shane Goldmacher, a national political correspondent for The New York Times, about Pelosi's legacy and what her departure means for California's political power in Washington. They also break down Democrats' strong showing in Tuesday's elections and what those results signal heading into the 2026 midterms.
