In their quest to reinvent themselves to appeal to voters, the Democrats are struggling with a lack of clear leadership.

Joe Biden seemed absent even during his tenure, and Kamala Harris faced a decisive defeat in the 2024 presidential race. Meanwhile, seasoned figures like former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) should have stepped down long ago.

As a result, the de facto “leaders” have become those who are the most vocal, such as former Democrat vice-presidential nominee and Minnesota Governor Tim Walz, along with Representatives Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) and Jasmine Crockett (D-TX). These individuals often gain attention by making bold statements to captivate the left. However, such tactics could result in their rejection by the centrist voters in a national election, such as a presidential campaign.
