The End of Trumpism

This is A. G. Sulzberger. I'm the publisher of the New York Times. And I'm also a former reporter who's watched with a lot of alarm as our profession has shrunk in recent years. Normally, this is where I'd ask you to subscribe to the Times. But today I'm encouraging you to support any news organization that's dedicated to original reporting. Whether that's your local newspaper, a national paper, or the New York Times, what matters most is that you subscribe to a real news organization doing firsthand fact based reporting. And if you already do.

Thank you. Big Ten is real. And the political map is fake. That is the lesson of the Democrats historic midterm, the the blue tsunami. That we saw on Tuesday.

Democrats won in places nobody thought they had any chance even to compete in a year ago. Kansas. Texas. Iowa, South Carolina. As I record this, it's unclear which party is gonna win Mississippi, but let me say that again.
