Desperate Democrats Take Eye Off Prize As Party Infighting Spreads Across US

Democrats looked poised to take back control of the U.S. House in November, but party chaos might derail their chances.

Republicans have failed to deliver strong wins on important voter mandates Americans demanded during the 2024 presidential election. Voters gave Republicans control of the Senate, House, and the White House, and in return they wanted a friendlier economy and mass deportations, among other issues. Instead, they are facing high prices, another war in the Middle East, and allegations that deportation numbers aren’t being reported accurately.
