Episode Synopsis
In our 2025 Year in Review, A Template for Congress Podcast provides a collective analysis of the progressive movement’s resilience. We examine the legislative challenges posed by the current administration, the historic labor victories of the past year, and the strategic roadmap for the 2026 midterms. From the mayoral win of Zohran Mamdani to the launch of the Progressive Caucus’s new task forces, we highlight why there is a growing, data-backed hope for a Democratic sweep of the House and Senate in 2026.
