Democrats are facing a series of setbacks, and their attempts to challenge Trump have left them feeling embarrassed, demoralized, and in search of solutions. Let’s dive into five reasons why the Democrats lost to Trump and their composure alongside it.

Self-Owns 

Democrats often excel at unity, making it difficult for certain members to align with Republicans. However, last month was an exception when Rep. Al Green (D-Texas) initiated a vote to impeach President Trump, only to see it fail with a striking count of 344 to 79 on the House floor. Clay Travis, founder of OutKick.com, summarized the fiasco on X.

Democrat impeachment attempt against Trump fails 344 to 79. Democrats voted against impeaching Trump 128 to 79. Tough look for AOC.

I never thought I’d see a day when Democrats on the House floor voted in favor of keeping Donald Trump in office. That was something to behold. 

Stupid Stunts

Typically, when a Congressional member is set to make a questionable move, it doesn’t usually involve taxpayer money. Yet, that wasn’t the case when Maryland Senator Chris Van Hollen embarked on a mission to El Salvador to “rescue” a constituent from Maryland. After deporting Kilmar Abrego Garcia to El Salvador, Senator Van Hollen pushed to reunite this seemingly upstanding individual with his family in America. The complication? Garcia is an MS-13 gang member with illegal entry into the U.S. and ties to human trafficking. This situation raised questions about why Van Hollen wanted him back in the United States, with the Department of Homeland Security expressing clear concerns.

Kilmar Abrego Garcia is not a “Maryland Man”—he is an MS-13 gang member involved in human trafficking who entered the United States illegally. His removal from the United States should have occurred under the Biden Administration. He will not return to our country under the Trump Administration.

Once Abrego Garcia was deported, Van Hollen made a show of his trip to El Salvador and the subsequent meeting he had with him. Politically, I know how the game is played, sometimes we push the limit to make a point—but this stunt by Van Hollen was purely driven by Trump Derangement Syndrome. Plus, our tax dollars paid for the trip.
