    About our Democratic Party news

    Latest news on the Democratic Party, progressive policies, congressional updates and key developments in America's oldest active political party.

    The Democratic Party, one of America's two major political parties, currently holds the presidency under Joe Biden but faces significant challenges heading into 2025 after Kamala Harris's defeat in the 2024 presidential election. With 215 House Representatives, 47 Senators, and 23 state governorships, the party maintains substantial influence across all levels of government.

    Recent developments have seen the party grappling with a rightward shift in American politics, particularly on immigration and economic issues. After Biden's historic withdrawal from the 2024 race and Harris's subsequent nomination and defeat, the party is experiencing its most significant period of self-examination since the 1980s. Key issues include border security, inflation, and maintaining support among both working-class and college-educated voters.

    The party continues to draw strong support from urban areas, college graduates, and minority communities, particularly African Americans who consistently provide over 85% support. Notable initiatives include major climate legislation through the Inflation Reduction Act, infrastructure investment, and ongoing efforts to protect abortion rights following the Dobbs decision.

    Founded in 1828 by Andrew Jackson and Martin Van Buren, the Democratic Party has evolved from its agrarian and states' rights origins to become a centre-left coalition promoting liberal social policies and regulated market economics. The party underwent significant transformations during the New Deal era under Franklin Roosevelt and the civil rights period under Lyndon Johnson, establishing much of its modern identity.

    Our NewsNow feed provides comprehensive coverage of Democratic Party developments from reliable sources, tracking legislative initiatives, electoral campaigns, policy positions, and internal party dynamics. Whether you're interested in national politics, state-level developments, or local Democratic initiatives, this feed keeps you informed about America's oldest active political party as it navigates challenging political terrain.
