What This Year’s Elections Mean For 2026

On Tuesday night, Martha was joined by FOX News Chief Political Anchor Bret Baier, Co-Anchor of America’s Newsroom Dana Perino, and a panel of strategists on FOX News Channel to cover this year’s key elections. The panel discussed elections in New York City, New Jersey, and Virginia, as well as a few other key races, and broke down why these results matter heading into the 2026 Midterm Elections.

The panel examined the issues that mattered to voters in this off-year election and whether a wave of socialism will spread across the nation, as New York City mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani gave his victory remarks to the city.
