Who Should Lead the Democrats?
Published 1 year ago
Description
Who is the leader of the Democratic party? It was a question that appeared to stump Minnesota governor and vice-presidential candidate Tim Walz in a CNN interview last week, and he’s not the only one who’s feeling a leadership void. Only 1 in 10 Democrats say their party has a solid strategy to deal with the Trump administration, according to a recent poll by the opinion research firm Blueprint. Do the Democrats need an economic populist like Bernie Sanders? A tested progressive like AOC? A centrist coalition? We hear who you think should take the party’s reins and why.
