Fed up with Donald Trump and his family's blatant profiteering, Americans dealt Republicans a resounding defeat in this month’s midterm elections. Democrats won by linking corruption to the cost-of-living crisis, but the party’s establishment remains compromised and must clean house before 2028. CHICAGO—When Donald Trump was first elected US president, a stunned Democratic intelligentsia claimed that he won because of Russian interference.
