Dem Senator Responds To Report During Interview With NBC
The Democratic Party is in crisis, and the numbers don’t lie. With approval ratings sinking below 30%, the party finds itself in historically weak territory, struggling to connect with voters and lacking a clear strategy for recovery. Instead of reassessing their policies or messaging, some Democrats—like Sen. Chris Murphy (D-CT)—believe the problem is that they aren’t attacking Donald Trump hard enough.

Murphy: The American people just want us to fight Donald Trump harder — because if we don’t, we’ll lose our Democracy.

The reality is far more damning. The party’s leadership is fractured, its brand is tarnished, and its electoral playbook is stuck in a bygone era. Democrats still operate as if it’s 2008, a time when they knew how to win national elections and appeal to a broad coalition. That ability has all but disappeared, replaced by a party that defends the indefensible on critical issues ranging from crime to immigration to economic policy.

The disarray was on full display this week as Democrats clashed over Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer’s decision to advance the GOP-backed spending bill. Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-TX) dodged questions about whether Schumer would face a primary challenge, dismissing the discussion as something to worry about “four years from now.” That kind of uncertainty underscores a deeper problem—Democrats have no clear leadership, no unified message, and no electoral strategy beyond attacking Trump.
Hakeem Jeffries claims Democrats “have Republicans on the run” — says “inflation is going up."

House Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) fared no better. Attempting to shift the conversation, he repeated outdated talking points about inflation, falsely claiming it’s still rising. Such missteps reveal a party that is out of touch with the concerns of everyday Americans, failing to grasp even the most basic economic realities.

Meanwhile, internal tensions boiled over as House Democrats called for outright rebellion against Schumer. What little semblance of party unity Jeffries tried to maintain collapsed, exposing deep divisions. The Democratic Party is no longer defined by a shared vision—it exists merely as an opposition force against Trump.
