Democrats Begin a Fight to Shape the Party’s Future

“Democrats expanded their map this week with big wins in traditionally red states that the party had all but written off for years by making appeals to moderate, independent and Republican voters,” the New York Times reports.

“At the same time, progressives won key races in two purple states, Michigan and Maine.”

“The combined victories amounted to a sweeping triumph that will send an ideologically diverse crop of new Democratic lawmakers to Congress in January, but internal debates are already emerging about what lessons the party should draw ahead of the 2028 presidential campaign.”
