Following Vice President Kamala Harris’s defeat — which also saw Democrats lose the Senate and fail to retake the House of Representatives — one thing is fundamentally clear: The Democratic Party needs a new agenda if it hopes to win in the future. 

Quite simply, Democrats cannot continue with the same playbook they’ve used for much of the past decade. It has alienated their base and threatens to relegate the party as a whole to minority status for years to come....

Democrats aren’t the only ones who need a soul-searching

For better or worse, post-election analysis is now the country’s favorite sport. Wherever two or three Americans are gathered, there are at least a dozen reasons given for why Donald Trump won and Democrats got shellacked.

Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) called on Democrats to press ahead and take “opportunities to fight back” despite President-elect Trump’s triumph in the 2024 U.S. presidential election against Vice President Harris. 

“Right now, Donald Trump won an election, and the consequences will be real and devastating, but I'm reminding myself and you that on the road ahead, there will still be opportunities to fight back,” Warren said in a video released Wednesday.

Today is a day of despair for America. We are plunged into an anticipatory grief | Moira Donegan

As we face another Trump presidency, I hope we can turn our attention to the most vulnerable: those who are less safe today than they were yesterday

Today is a day of despair, and it would be futile to tell those who fear and grieve for what is to come in America that they will be OK. It would also be dishonest: many of us, in truth, will not be OK.
