Sargent: Democratic comeback can start with governors' races

Governors’ races are where Democrats have the most opportunity to begin climbing their way back into power after President-elect Trump is inaugurated in January, according to liberal writer Greg Sargent, who authors “The Plum Line” blog at the Washington Post.

“Let’s face it, in 2018 Democrats are going to be on defense everywhere,” Sargent said in an interview with the Washington Examiner’s weekly podcast. “The real key thing to watch here is the 2018 governors races. The Senate is a virtual impossibility for Democrats — I don’t know about the House. That depends on if Trump’s very unpopular and makes a mess … But the redistricting stuff is enormously important and Democrats simply must gain some ground back on the level of the states.
