After historic victories up and down the ballot for Democrats, Red Wine & Blue founder Katie Paris joins Edwin Eisendrath to share her perspective as a grassroots organizer. She talked about how the last decade of Trumpism has mobilized women across America.
Katie gives her take on the 2026 midterm wins, focusing on Ohio — a state that was missed by 2018’s blue wave but saw big wins for Democrats this week with Amy Acton claiming the governorship and Sherrod Brown winning back a U.S. Senate seat.
Katie and Edwin also talk about the big victories for women candidates in particular, and how we keep this momentum going through the next two years.
