Fractured Democrats Remain in Chaos as Donald Trump Plots Bold Agenda Wendell Husebo 2 Jan 2025
The Democrat party is reeling from President-elect Donald Trump’s sound election drubbing, with many party leaders still questioning why they lost.
The chaos within Democrat ranks is an opportunity for Republicans to unite behind Trump’s bold campaign promises and enact legislation to further splinter Democrat factions that are at war with the others.
“What is it that we can do that’s effective when they control everything?” Joseph Geevarghese, who runs the grassroots organizing group Our Revolution, told the Hill. “They’re going to use their state power against us. I think they’re going to target progressives … It’s a very challenging moment.”
The far left and populist Democrats appear to be under mounting pressure not only from Trump’s landslide victory but also from establishment Democrats who are eager to maintain control after coronating a presidential candidate without a primary.
One of the biggest examples of the establishment’s primacy is its recent defeat of Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s (D-NY) bid for the top spot on the Oversight Committee. House Democrats chose establishment Rep. Gerry Connolly (D-VA) to be the ranking member, thwarting Ocasio-Cortez, who is widely perceived as a leader of the populist left.
“The party needs a reckoning with itself,” said Corryn Freeman, a far-left operative and executive director of Future Coalition. “They’re saying it out of their mouths but their actions are fully aligned with the sameness that has gotten us to the place that we are now, which is powerless.”
