TL;DR Summary
The Democratic Party is facing an identity crisis following Kamala Harris' defeat in the 2024 presidential election, as they continue to lose support from key demographics like working-class whites, Latinos, and some Black men. The party is divided on how to address these losses, with debates between progressive and moderate factions on the way forward. The election results have prompted calls for a party overhaul, focusing on reconnecting with working-class voters and addressing economic concerns, while also reassessing their stance on issues like immigration and social policies.
