Democratic members, activists, and strategists throughout the ideology spectrum are engaged in a fierce debate on how the 2024 elections have damaged and left the party’s brand.
There is no negativeism that President Trump has attracted Republican members after losing in 2020, but the Democratic leaders not only returned Mr. Trump to power, but also put the Republican members on the full control of the federal government. There is a sharp opinion on how to interpret it.
Mr. Trump’s quickness to the government’s will, and the nation is a gathering of closed doors of Capitol Hill, adding urgency to the retreat for donors, strategists, and internal discussions. The campaign that reached the top of the next leader of the Democratic National Committee this weekend.
Many loud voices in the party require calculation and recurrence. However, other people do not assume more overhaul than the waiting approach, hoping Mr. Trump’s ambitioned white house agenda to capture the lower house in 2026. yeah.
The division does not fall off along the ideology line. Some of the most moderate and advanced Democratic members are in line with the clerk’s voters, especially among voters in the workers, to revise the course to reverses the erosion of the party’s support.
Pat Ryan, a Democratic Party member, who represented the swing area in the north of New York City and exceeded the top of the ticket by one of the wider margins nationwide, said: 。 “In the core, the brand cannot reach the structurally unacceptable majority unless the members are running in a tough area.”
Democrats who share the prospects of this breeker look at the statistical signs of the party’s collapse. The blue state has handed out the population to the red state. Most voter registration numbers are in the wrong direction. More Americans are equivalent to the GOP than the Democratic Party. When Trump swept all the battlefield nations, the Democratic Party lost the ground last year in the core constituency of low -income, Latin, and young voters.
However, there are many glass half a full Democratic Party.
More brighter groups tend to focus on the high -advantage of the GOP at home from 218 to 215 seats in the house and extraordinary conditions of 2024 races. Trump survived the assassination attempt and switched candidates in the summer -and the fact that political pendulures were as common as predictable.
Few people suggest that Democratic members simply need to maintain the course. However, the diagnosis of the parties with different pain may lead to very different treatment plans, such as policies, personnel, and political priority. One of the early focus depends on whether the difficulties of distributing the parties or their messages are more responsible.
Washington’s Susan Delvene representative served as chairman of the Democratic Congress Campaign Committee in 2024 and continued to supervise the party’s efforts to win the majority in 2026, but the House of Representatives Democratic Party members are “actually 2024. He gained a status. ” Last year, she accused the party’s continuous minority status, accusing her in a single state to redraw an unusual Republican parties on a parliamentary map.
“We will be the majority, except that North Carolina is a gerimander,” she said about re -mapping that three Democrats urged to abandon their wishes for re -election. Ta.
Others pointed out the fact that Trump has won the Senate race in the four states carried by Trump, which is relatively slim of Trump’s general voting victory. The era.
“We know how the president and his party look at the elections. It has lost the House of Representatives and has not lost four of the five -swing -state Senate contests.” Nera Tanden, who served in the White House, said. Three Democratic President, including the director of the Domestic Policy Council of Joseph R. Videen Jr.
“The party has a job needed to be more persuasive for the worker -class people -about economic and security issues,” said Tanden. “But Trump’s popular voting right was less than half of Videnn four years ago.”
Of course, the parties who are in the search period of the soul often have accurately and blindly what they are looking for. An approach to immigrants used by Trump to return the party for power in 2016.
For the Democratic Party, the recommendations may be significantly different in consideration of the groups created by the group. Recently, many parliamental progressive meets in Capitol Hill and settled on a message to compete with Trump. The American Bridge, a democratic super PAC and non -profit organizations, will hold retreat next month for donors. The third method, the third method, has organized a gathering in February and discusses how to “enhance the mainstream views and voices”.
Such empty conversations are not held every corner of the party.
Future Forward, the highest staff of the Kamara Harris Campaign and the leader of the major super PAC that supported her, has been sitting since the election for a formal discussion about what happened with billions of dollars. Not. The Campaign Finance method banned such conversations during the election, and tension rose between both sides.
FUTURE FORWARD’s leadership reached out to propose a certain top of the lessons learned, but according to the three people explained about outreach, such gatherings have been refused. But they stated that there were several unofficial communication throughout the gap.
Some Democratic members believe that the loss of the party in 2024 is exposed to the situation rather than the system. Voting shows that the public has a serious problem with his age because Harris effectively inherits unpopularity without enough time to carve another identity for himself. It blame Mr. Biden, who ignores and accuses him to withdraw in such politically weakened state.
“There were people who were very dissatisfied with the incumbent administration. The only thing she needed to know about Harris was the chairman of Biden’s White House Economic Advisory Council. Jared Bernstein said.
Bernstein warned of the “excessive interpretation” of the 2024 results, saying it was consistent with the global rebound against political parties in power toward inflation.
“It was mainly global anti -leader. In our case, it is very promoted by immigrants and inflation,” he said. “If we could launch an attractive defense of pronouns and salary, we may have overcome it, but we were not.”
The final result was Mr. Trump’s first popular voting victory in the three tries, and since 1988, it has been the second Republican member (the last is George W. Bush’s re -election in 2004).
“No one can say that this is a landslide. Hell, I was a Walter Mondale policy director in 1984.
However, Garston states that it focuses on anxiety close to the popularity poll, like gallap data, which indicates that the Republican members are identifying or tilting more than the Democratic Party for the third consecutive year. I did it. It has not been a year since 1991, when GOP won the last three presidential elections.
At that time, when the Democratic Party was in the wilderness, Garston and the long -standing members of the Democratic National Committee, Elaine Camarck, wrote a paper called “Evacuation Politics.” Rather than facing serious problems, it became a revival manifest after the party’s rare gun.
In 2022, the two bluckings fellows announced the revised warnings and stipulated the “real therapy” course for the Democratic members, including the party’s “cultural bubble”. An American who has not been educated or has low income.
Galston said that he and Kamark said they had “finally restored the band” to draft an update after 2024.
“It’s reasonable to break the glass and pull the fire alarm,” he said.
Some Democratic members are spotlighting the long -term erosion of voters registration in major states, which appear to be scheduled for 2024. In Pennsylvania, recent numbers indicate the advantage of the state of the state of about 189,000 states. When Mr. Trump brought the state in 2016, and last October it was over 325,000.
However, Democratic Publicist Molly Murphy, a democratic public opinion poll, who worked on the Biden and Harris campaign, urged her to focus only on solutions.
“There is no need to discuss how deep the hole is,” she said. “What the Democratic Party needs to do is to behave as if we were in a very deep hole, and when it appeared, we were not in a deep hole.
