Reasons for hope as Democrats prevent Trump-led red wave in state races
Democrats had braced for a disaster but state results show a much more nuanced picture than the party had feared

The 2017 Trump resistance playbook is out. Community organizing is in.
Former President Donald Trump once again won a presidential election. Again, his opponent was a highly qualified woman. And again, intense rhetoric about gender and race defined his candidacy.
