Democratic Candidates Seek to Lead Party Revival
Abigail Spanberger and Mikie Sherrill, former roommates, are now candidates for governor in Virginia and New Jersey, aiming to spur a Democratic revival.
They were key figures in the Democratic resistance that swept the House of Representatives in 2018, a reaction to President Donald Trump's first two years in office.
“What we will do this November is not just vote against something, but we will vote for the policies that we believe in,” Abigail Spanberger said. “Are you ready to win?”
The November 4 elections will test the party's efforts to rebuild, rebrand, and rebound after losing the White House and failing to win control of Congress.
Democrats are moving beyond the soul-searching and finger-pointing phase of their 2024 defeat, seeking a pathway back to power.
Their respective races offer potential lessons for the party as it tries to rise from political exile.
