Biden campaign official praises Trump's political acumen during fundraiser, prompting questions about the Democratic Party's image.

A report reveals that some Democratic politicians are openly questioning their party's brand after losing to President-elect Donald Trump.

"John Morgan, a Biden fundraiser, stated to Politico that he is unsure if Trump is a stable genius, but he is certainly a genius. He explained how Trump tapped into something the Republicans never saw, which was anger and populism among their base."

The 2024 election victory of Trump has led Democrats to reflect on their electoral losses following a string of setbacks. Republicans regained the presidency and control of both chambers of Congress four years after being ousted in 2020.

Politico reports that some Democratic Party donors and political strategists are increasingly considering independent tickets and alternative branding options.

"According to Detroit Mayor Mike Duggan, if you identify as a Democrat, all Republicans will oppose it, and vice versa. He believes that there is no way forward for the state unless both parties work together."

Despite being a Democrat and serving three terms as mayor of Detroit, Duggan is now running for governor of Michigan as an independent.

"A Democratic strategist, speaking anonymously to Politico, stated that anyone examining the Senate map over the next six years and beyond recognizes the need for a path to reducing the Republican majority. This path does not necessarily entail electing Democrats but rather altering the basis for achieving a majority."

A study by Democratic polling firm Navigator Research reveals that some voters are disillusioned with the Democratic Party.

The Democratic Party has been criticized for being stubborn and committed to their own ideas, even when they fail, by one participant in the study. Another participant stated that the Democratic Party is no longer a friend of the working class, a sentiment shared by Sen. Bernie Sanders.

Sanders wrote on Election Day that it was no surprise that the Democratic Party, which had forsaken working-class individuals, would see the working class abandon them.
