John Krull: How to really make America great again

Indiana columnist John Krull argues that Democrats’ strong 2026 election results should be seen as a rejection of Republican leadership, not as an endorsement of the Democratic Party. Democrats won statewide races for the first time in nearly two decades, gained a congressional seat and ended the Republican supermajority in the Indiana House. Krull says the results create an opening for Democrats to persuade voters, but do not guarantee their support.
