DNC party sections obscure the message of unity against the GoP in the summer confab

Minneapolis, minus in Democratic National Committee (DNC) Annual Summer Meeting.

But despite the repeated conversation that the party is the only one because it is aimed at leaving the political desert after last year’s polls, the Democrats fought several times during the three -day confab, which took place in the largest city of Minnesota.

As the Democrats vote, to respond more strongly to the counter president Donald Trump DNC Chairman Ken Martin aimed at the president, arguing Trump, who acts as a “chief dictator” and that his second administration is “fascism, dressed in a red tie”.

Martin, pointing to the Democrats against the steps this summer Trump and the Republicans to create more correct places in the United States across the country across the rare Congress of the Middle decade, rethinking on the eve of the next year, stated that “sick and tired of this Democratic Party.”

“We cannot be the only party that plays more by the rules,” he urged.

And Vice -Chairman DNC Malcolm Kenyat, in a digital interview with Fox News on the sidelines of the meeting, called that the Democrats “should participate in the fight, not the authorities for the sake of power, but we must fight because we understand what is in competition for working and working families.”

And, responding to Martin, he said, “We played checkers. They played in Grand Theft Auto” when he referred to a long and popular series of video games that spin around shooting, driving and stealing cars.

Against the backdrop of the conversation that the party remains divided into numerous political and political issues, the leaders preached unity.

“We have no luxury fighting as long as this thing is sitting in the White House,” – 2024 Vice President of the Democratic Party and Minnesota Governor Tim Waltz He emphasized how he referred to Trump.

And Martin emphasized that “in this big tent we are united for one purpose: to stop Donald Trump and bring this country back to the way.”

In several smaller panel discussions during the Confab, a leader from the Donor Portal for Democrats known as Actblue, shared what was described as a combat song to charge party members.

While Unity was the main topic in Minneapolis, the divisions began to break out during the summer meeting.

There was a lot of differences because the DNC resolutions considered two duel resolutions on the Israel-Hamas war. The panel voted to the symbolic resolution, calling for the weapons and suspension of US military assistance Israel, which has long become the main American ally in the Middle East.

A separate resolution introduced and supported by Martin, which called for ceasefire between Israel and HamasAs well as unlimited access to humanitarian aid to civilian residents, he was unanimously handed over to the board.

But the defeat of the second, stronger resolution presented by the 26-year-old Alison Menneli, a new DNC member of Florida, caused the opposition among some members at the board.

“This is not enough,” said Sofia Denenberg, a member of the DNC Committee of Washington, said she pointed to Martin’s resolution. “People want to hear a louder, stronger, statement.”

Dunneberg emphasized: “I am afraid that we will lose our future as a democratic party without being courageous in this matter.”

A few minutes later, after a private conversation between Martin and Mainer, the DNC chairman asked the Committee to “withdraw my resolution so that we could move to” United “today and talk.”

“We must continue to work on it. We must find a way forward as a party and we must remain the only one,” the chair added.

Martin’s move, which was adopted by the Committee, can buy a little time, but the party remains divided into this question.

Joe Salas, a member of the DNC Committee of California and a Muslim American, told Fox News after the defeat of the Minerley resolution that “I think there is a gap between people in the committee and the average voters identified with the Democratic Party.”

A speech over the resolutions took place when the Democratic Party’s almost unwavering support for Israel has broken against the background of bloodshed. And the concern that many Palestinians many in the progressive base of the party soared this spring and summer, against what many call hunger in Gaza. Recent surveys indicate the support of Israel’s permanent military action in Gaza, which are submitted among the Democrats.

Democrats seek to bounce after the elections last year when the party lost control of the White House and the Senate. Democrats also lacked to return most of the House of Representatives and Republicans made a profit with voters who make up the key parts of the Democratic Party base.

But the situation has only deteriorated for Democrats in 10 months since last year Election failures, By key indicators.

The Democrats brand is deeply unpopular, especially with young voters, since the number of party polls continues to be minimized in all times in national surveys.

The DNC continues to face a large deficit in the hands of a competitive Republican National Committee (RNC), as well as concerns about the registration of the party.

But Martin was optimistic.

While he acknowledged that “that our cash seems low compared to Republicans,” he looked at the Executive Committee meeting on Wednesday that “we have raised $ 70 million this year, which is a record.”

And Martin pointed to a special victory on Tuesday’s election in the Red State of Iowa, where the Democrats turned the place in the state.

“This year’s 40 key elections we won or overcame,” Martin said. “I want you to think about it for a second. Democrats, we have the wind. We are exceeded in every election that has been in voting since Donald Trump was opened.”

After the rough polling stations after winning the DNC chairman in February, Martin seems to have continued itself this summer, and during the meeting there was a lot of praise than the new chairman, who was postponed early after the death church in the Catholic school in Minneapolis just a few miles from the DNA meeting.

But Republicans say they are still delighted with Martin’s stay.

“Under the leadership of Ken Martin, the Democrats have been lit in the lowest ranking for 35 years, and the DNC still paid millions of debt from Kamal Harris’s unsuccessful company,” said RNC Parkinson. “As Republicans, we believe that he performs fantastic work, and we will fully support him to remain as chairman of the DNC.”
