Briefings
Reports of the Make America Healthy Again (MAHA) movement's demise have been exaggerated. The movement's fate hangs in the balance after Tuesday's midterm election swept many of its allies out of office. MAHA was already fracturing over issues like pesticides and factored little into key races. Now it must contend with a big slate of new Democratic senators, representatives, and governors who are opposed to many MAHA policies. Tuesday's results reveal an electorate not just uninterested in the Trump administration's health agenda, but actively rebuking it.
