Democrats May Win Big, But the Real Fight Starts After

Democrats appear headed for a strong midterm showing, but the larger test will come after the votes are counted. The question is not just how far they surge, but what kind of lesson they draw from it.

But Republicans aren’t as flexible when it comes to the 42 million people with federal student loan debt, Rebecca writes. For Republicans, the rationale behind repaying student loans — even if voters are concerned about affordability — is simple. It’s about…
