Democrats, Newly Ascendant, Begin a Fight to Shape the Party’s Future
A New York Times article by Lisa Lerer and Reid J. Epstein reports that Democrats' midterm wins in traditionally red states and in Michigan and Maine have reopened the party's decade-long fight over its direction ahead of 2028, with Rahm Emanuel weighing a run, JB Pritzker widely expected to, and Ro Khanna teasing a bid. Centrist Democrats say moderate, bipartisan candidates did better, while Bernie Sanders claims near-total victory for progressives and urges the party to press a progressive agenda; Chuck Schumer and Hakeem Jeffries stress unity, and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has not said whether she will run.
