What Next for the Democrats?
David Aaronovitch asks if the US Democratic Party has got over its shock defeat by President Trump, and can it make up ground in 2018's crucial midterm elections?
A year on from their shock defeat in the US presidential elections, David Aaronovitch asks how the US Democratic party is responding to Donald Trump's Presidency and assesses some of the challenges which lie ahead.
What new policies is the party developing? Who are the potential presidential candidates waiting in the wings? And can the college-educated elite which dominate the party win back support from America's white working class who gravitated towards Donald Trump in such significant numbers?
