Decoding the Midterms: Daniel Nichanian

We discuss the results of state and local elections of the 2026 midterms, the impact of secretaries of state in the 2028 presidential election, and the various issues that drove voter turnout.

Daniel’s civic action toolkit recommendations are: 

1. Look at one or two issues you care about.
2. Think about how your local or state governments affect that issue

Daniel Nichanian is the founder and editor-in-chief of Bolts, a publication that covers the nuts and bolts of power and political change, from the local level up.
