## Summary

After Democrats won control of Congress in the 2026 midterm elections, Kamala Harris urged the party to use its new power forcefully to provide economic relief and hold President Donald Trump’s administration accountable. Hillary Clinton described the result as the start of a “post-Trump era”, while Bill Clinton called for Democrats to rebuild public trust.

Harris said Democrats should use every lever of power to help working families and address what she called corruption in the administration. Hillary Clinton focused on accountability, affordability and preventing abuses from happening again. Bill Clinton also named health care, living costs, wars, tariffs and the national debt as priorities, and urged Democrats to approach opponents with humility.
