Democratic Party's Election Struggles

The Democratic Party is grappling with significant electoral setbacks, including losses of both the White House and Senate, leading to a sense of demoralization among its members. As party membership continues to decline, Democrats are focusing on preparing for an impending leadership election for the Democratic National Committee (DNC). Five candidates have emerged in this race, each expected to redefine the party's direction following the recent defeats. While there are voices within the party advocating for a more ideological shift towards economic populism, many of the candidates currently running lack widespread recognition among the general public.
