Democratic National Committee Chairman Ken Martin isn’t sure if he can be the party’s leader. However, Democrats are still counting on him, convinced he needs more time, and, without David Hogg, he will have a “free hand” to bring the party to victory in 2026 and 2028.
Democrats are in a rebuilding phase after losses in the 2024 election, and it has not been smooth sailing. New polls show that the party has a long way to go to rebuild trust with voters.
