WASHINGTON -- For a day, at least, beleaguered Democrats are hopeful again. But just beneath the party's relief at securing its first big electoral wins since last November’s drubbing lay unresolved questions about its direction heading into next year’s midterm elections.

The GOP currently controls the White House, Senate, and House. Right now, within the Democratic Party, the debate continues over which direction the party should move in order to win nationally.

There are signs that the economy may be a real problem for Trump’s GOP heading into next year’s midterm elections.

Democrats Abigail Spanberger in Virginia and Mikie Sherrill in New Jersey won races for governor by wide margins in states where Trump made gains in 2024, and California voters resoundingly approved a ballot measure aimed at checking Trump's efforts to create more Republican-leaning congressional seats.

Former Rep. Abigail Spanberger will become Virginia’s next governor — and its first female chief executive — while Rep. Mikie Sherrill won the New Jersey governor’s office by running campaigns focused largely on the economy, public safety and health care.

A Democratic Socialists of America leader says New York City Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani offers a "powerful way forward" for Democrats — but some moderates worry he'll hand the GOP "a pretty potent set of weapons" in next year's midterms.

The Washington County Democratic Party opened its new headquarters at the Peerless Center on W Springbrook Dr. on Tuesday. The headquarters have been in the works since the COVID pandemic and opened a year before the Tennessee election.

In light of Zohran Mamdani's win, Democrats shouldn't allow socialists to corrupt their movement, lest they be staring down an AOC presidential run.
