Martin, in his closing speech, should focus on the momentum that Democrats are presented in the elections this fall, and will highlight how the Democrats have “outperformed or won during 36 of the 37 key elections” during his seven months as president, according to the source.

But party leaders and civil servants, meeting in the original state of Martin Minnesota, are faced with a multitude of problems as they try to escape the political desert.

The Democrats aim to bounce back after last year’s elections, when the party lost control of the White House and the Senate and failed to reconquer the majority of the room. And The Republicans have made gains With voters who make up key parts of the Democratic Party base.

But the situation has only deteriorated for Democrats during the 10 months since last year’s elections setbacks, according to key measures.

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.

And the DNC faces a massive fundraising deficit in the hands of the National Rival Republican Committee (RNC), as well as concerns about the registration of parties.

Divided Democrats: Tensions evolved on the war in Gaza

While the Democrats are hungry for a more energetic decline against the Trump agenda, Martin targeted the president, arguing that Trump acts as “a chief dictator” and that his second administration is “fascism dressed in a red tie”.

Martin, emphasizing the energetic response of democrats to the moves this summer by Trump and the Republicans to create more seats in the Chamber in the United States in the States through the country thanks to a redistribution of the mid-December congress of rare decades before the mid-term elections of next year, said that he was “sick and tired of this Democratic Party bringing a pencil.

“We can no longer be the only party that respects the rules,” he urged.

While Martin and other DNC officials preached unity, the divisions broke out on Tuesday when a key DNC panel considered two duel resolutions on the War of Israel-Hamas in Gaza.

The tension occurred while the DNC resolutions committee voted a symbolic resolution calling 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.

A separate resolution introduced and supported by the president of the DNC, Ken Martin, who called for a cease-fire between Israel and HamasAs well as access without restriction to humanitarian aid to civilians in Gaza, was adopted unanimously by the panel.

But the defeat of the second more energetic resolution, which was introduced by Allison Minnerly, 26, a new member of the Florida DNC, sparked an opposition among certain members of the panel.

“It is not enough,” said the DNC de Washington DC committee Sophia Danenberg, stressing Martin’s resolution. “People want to hear a stronger and stronger statement.”

Danenberg stressed: “I fear that we are losing our future as a Democratic Party by not making courage on this issue.”

A few minutes later, following a private conversation between Martin and Minnerly, the DNC president asked the committee to “withdraw my resolution so that we can move United today and have the conversation”.

“We have to continue working through it. We have to find a way to follow as a party, and we have to stay unified,” added the president.

Martin’s decision was adopted by the committee.

The confrontation on resolutions has occurred while the formerly almost unshakable support of the Democratic Party in Israel has fractured in the midst of the bloodshed. And the concerns about the growing number of deaths among the Palestinians by many members of the progressive party of the party have skyrocketed this spring and this was in the midst of what many describe as a famine in Gaza. Recent polls indicate that support for the continuous military actions of Israel in Gaza is falling among the Democrats.

The resolutions committee adopted a multitude of resolutions, in particular by approving one unanimously one which affirmed what was called the “American values” of diversity, equity and inclusion “. The support of the party in Dei has come in the midst of a relentless conservative reaction against such programs in recent years.

Another resolution adopted unanimously called to “condemn the first 6 months of the second Trump administration”.

The resolutions approved by the panel will be faced with votes by the more than 400 DNC members of more than 400 Wednesday, during the general fence.

Later Tuesday, Martin said that “the process of the presidential calendar begins today”.

Speaking during a meeting of the DNC rules and statutes, which oversees the calendar of the party’s presidential appointments, the president announced that “we are planning meetings throughout fall and winter and in the spring to ensure that we have a rigorous, efficient and fair calendar and process.

“We need this process to give us the strongest possible candidate, a candidate who is tested in combat to win and ready to lead America,” said Martin.

And the DNC officials said they were extinguishing the rules in the coming months so that states do their cases on the reasons why they should be in the first group of states to hold presidential primaries in the 2028 cycle, when Democrats hope to win back the White House.

The meetings will start a fight between a handful of states that are fighting for lifting positions in the next main calendar, after the DNC, following the wishes of the President of the time, Joe Biden, of decades of tradition and renowned of Iowa and New Hampshire in their parade roles in the calendar of appointment in the 2024 choice cycle.

The South Carolina, which Biden chose to direct the 2024 calendar, New Hampshire, Nevada and Iowa will probably have tried the kick -off competition in the next presidential election cycle.
