ascendant

College-educated professionals, younger people, blacks, Latinos and other ethnic minorities, and blue-collar workers were part of a “coalition of the ascendant”.

California Democrats were already pledging to fight again as it became clear Tuesday night that Trump was ascendant once more.

These collaborations in decidedly safe spaces would also demonstrate that an ascendant Brics need not make the West uncomfortable.

An ascendant right-wing media ecosystem is devoted to tearing down the trustworthiness of legacy broadcast media.

So, this is not an ascendant movement but a desperate, last-ditch effort to secure minority rule in the face of a rapidly diversifying nation.
