Democrats Grapple with Internal Conflicts

In the aftermath of President Trump’s first address to Congress since his second term began, internal rifts among Democrats have become increasingly apparent. Tensions flare between establishment Democrats and progressive members as they confront differing strategies on handling Trump’s administration.

During Trump’s lengthy speech, many progressive Democrats disrupted his address, signaling their dissatisfaction with the party’s approach toward Trump’s policies. They argue for a more aggressive stance against what they view as a dismantling of federal governance, in stark contrast to the more decorous approach favored by moderates.
