The candidates and officeholders carrying Bernie Sanders's political revolution into 2026 — and into the fight over what the Democratic Party becomes next.
The 2026 midterms will decide who controls Congress — and whether Democrats have any real power to check an administration that has spent two years testing how far executive authority can be pushed before someone stops it. That alone would make this the most consequential off-year election in a generation.
But something else is being decided at the same time, in primaries most national coverage ignores: who actually runs the Democratic Party. Every seat on this site is a contest between two answers to that question — and the winner shapes who the party nominates for president in 2028.
The establishment holds. Incumbents survive on name recognition and outside money, the donor class keeps its veto, and 2028 produces another cautious neoliberal centrist — a nominee who polls well with consultants and inspires almost nobody, running on the proposition that things could be somewhat worse.
The left flank ascends. The DSA-aligned, Bernie-endorsed wing keeps winning primaries against far better-funded opponents — as it already has in Colorado, New York, Michigan, Pennsylvania, and now Florida — and carries a genuine progressive populist into the 2028 nomination fight with a movement, not a consultancy, behind them.
That second road is not hypothetical. In 2026 a democratic socialist unseated Colorado's longest-serving member of Congress. Mayor Zohran Mamdani's slate swept New York. A Gaza volunteer surgeon won a twelve-way primary in New Jersey. A state representative outspent 16-to-1 beat an impeachment-hearing witness in Florida. None of it was supposed to happen. This site exists to make the people driving it easy to find.
27 candidates and elected officials running on Medicare for All, the Green New Deal, and no corporate money — 20 of them endorsed by Bernie Sanders himself. Full profiles, voting records, platforms, and where to give.
