Democrats Hope for a Blue Wave That Might Not Happen

“Many Democrats are betting on a blue wave next year to help them regain favor with disenchanted voters and claw back some control in Washington — but several key indicators are turning into warning signs instead,” Politico reports.

“Recent polling shows Democrats are still struggling to regain their footing with voters who lurched right in 2024, and that’s compounded by growing gaps in fundraising, an increasing number of messy primaries and a congressional map that Republicans are redrawing to make it harder for Democrats to win.”

Said pollster Matt Taglia: “I don’t see a blue wave. It’s more like a blue trickle.”
