Following President Trump’s address, Senate Democrats chose a centrist senator to deliver a bipartisan response. However, a disruptive protest by an older congressman highlighted internal tensions within the party. With Trump challenging norms and dominating the political landscape, Democrats are torn between a progressive push for resistance and a more moderate approach to appeal to centrist voters. This internal conflict complicates strategic decisions, particularly with an impending government funding deadline and the challenge of countering Trump’s unilateral actions.
The contrast reflected the clash within the Democratic Party as it tries to find an effective message to counter an unbound president who is defying laws and norms.
Under pressure from a restive progressive base, some want to position themselves as part of a party of aggressive resistance to Mr. Trump.
