DNC faces

Minneapolis – The Democrats opened their summer meeting in Minnesota on Monday with calls for unity against President Donald Trump, even as internal divisions on a multitude of issues threaten to break out.

“We are unified to a single goal: to stop Donald Trump and put this country back on the right track,” said DNC president Ken Martin, when he addressed the most than 400 officials of the elected party of the 50 states and seven territories, while the summer meeting launched in its original state of Minnesota.

While the Democrats seemed united in their desire to counter Trump’s sweeping and controversial movements during his first seven months in the White House, the divisions between the members of the committee can evolve on Tuesday.

It was at this moment that the war in Gaza between Israel and Hamas, and limiting the dark money in presidential policy, will both be under the spotlight while the DNC resolutions committee will meet.

Competing symbolic resolutions during the war in Gaza – which was launched by the horrible October 7, 2023, a furtive attack on Hamas on Israel – will be elected by the panel.

Nearly 1,200 people in Israel were killed during the Hamas initial surprise attack, with more than 250 people taken hostage. In the almost two years that followed the attack, more than 60,000 Palestinians were killed in the current military response in Israel.

The confrontation on resolutions comes when the formerly almost unshakable support of the Democratic Party in Israel has fractured in the midst of the bloodshed. And the concerns concerning the growing number of deaths among the Palestinians by many members of the progressive party of the Party has skyrocketed this spring and this was in the middle of famine in Gaza.

Recent polls indicate that support for the continuous military actions of Israel in Gaza is falling among the Democrats.

A resolution, which is supported by Martin, calls a cease-fire between Israel and Hamas.

The competing resolution calls for an arms embargo and a suspension of American military aid in Israel, which has long been the best American ally in the Middle East.

The other resolution which cannot generate titles of debate and Tuesday titles is Martin’s push for the DNC to assert his commitment to “eliminate the unlimited money of companies and dark funds in our process of presidential appointment from the current cycle of 2028”.

While Democrats have long taken care of the role of great money in politics, the resolution, which has been reported for the first time by the New York Times, calls for the creation of a new panel to offer by next summer “of the real and enforceable stages that the DNC can take to eliminate unlimited businesses and dark money in its 2028 presidential process.

External groups such as Super PACS, which are authorized to transport unlimited contributions but are mandated to disclose their donors, have seen their influence in campaign policy multiply in recent electoral cycles.

Democratic leaders and officials come together while the party tries to escape the political desert after last year’s elections, when the Democrats lost control of the White House and the Senate and failed to reconquer the majority of the room. And the Republicans made gains in the demography of voters who previously constituted key parts of the base of the Democratic Party.

The situation has only worsened for the Democrats in the 10 months since last year’s elections setbacks.

The brand of Democrats is deeply unpopular, in particular with young voters, while party survey numbers continue to switch to the bottom of all time in national surveys.

The DNC faces a massive fundraising deficit in the hands of the National Rival Republican Committee (RNC) and data on voters indicated that the registration of the Democratic Party plunged while GOP inscriptions were increasing in the 30 states that record voters per party.

On Monday, in the middle of the conversation that Democrats remain divided on a multitude of political and political problems, Martin was not the only one to preach unity and minimize any discord.

The Governor of Minnesota, Tim Walz, in a speech to the members of the committee, said: “There is a division in my fucking house, and we are always married, and things are good. It’s life … We are strong because we will challenge ourselves.”

And Maria Cardona, longtime democrat strategist and member of the DNC committee, told Fox News: “I am so sick of people who focus on the intestine struggles and the circular battery.

Martin, who was elected president of the DNC in February, resisted the troubles during his mandate so far, in particular a controversy triggered by the support of the vice-president of now David Hogg of the primary challengers against the democrats of the older room in safe blue districts.

RNC’s communications director Zach Parkinson responded to the DNC session on Monday, Fox News told Ken Martin, the Democrats sank their lowest approval rating in 35 years “.

Taking towards Martin, Parkinson said: “As Republicans, we think he is doing a fantastic job, and we have fully approved it to stay as president of the DNC.”
