Under review during Trump's initial 100 days, Democrats assess key insights for upcoming battles

In the Heart of the Storm:

Democrats Battle the Unpredictable Trump Agenda

As Democratic leaders grapple with the reality of another four years of Donald Trump's presidency, anxious conversations and strategic meetings are the norm. The good news, they say, is that there's plenty to talk about, from promised market turmoil to policy changes affecting everyday lives. But the bad news is that Trump's rapid-fire decision-making leaves them scrambling to keep up and respond effectively.

Every poor polling number for Trump has Democratic operatives questioning whether they're witnessing a shift in the country's favor or just talking themselves into it. Illinois Rep. Sean Casten calls this a progression - from apathy to fear, anger, and finally action. Now, he says, "We're moving from incoherent to directed anger."

Behind closed doors and online, unusual alliances within the Democratic Party are hammering out plans and tactics. Without agreed-upon leaders or organizing principles, the post-election promises of a deep data dive to understand what went wrong have faded. Instead, Democrats are rethinking both their messaging and their delivery.

Elissa Slotkin, Michigan senator, has taken the initiative, launching a series of speeches aimed at outlining a political argument for her party. "If you think it's survivable if you just wait it out, you're just waiting," she warns. "If you think he's doing things to our democracy that we can't come back from, then you're moving in a much more panicked way."

Connecticut Sen. Chris Murphy echoes her sentiment. Adjusting his approach to awaken the public to the Trump administration's threats has meant going long-form, from extended threads of posts on social media to explainer videos and speaker series built on connecting the dots. None of this, he says, is an answer or even a plan. But he believes the country is being primed for a deeper political reconsideration as he balances institutional Democratic politics with urging colleagues not to dismiss independent Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders as "fringe."

Democrats, without any power in Washington, are trying to make their voices heard anyway, through events like the live-streamed sit-in on Capitol steps led by New Jersey Sen. Cory Booker and House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries. Jeffries kicked things off with a quote from Ulysses S. Grant: "There are but two parties in America right now: patriots and traitors."

With midterm elections still a year and a half away, Democrats are desperate for wins, hoping for assistance from the courts and praying that the Trump administration will comply with losing. On Wednesday, 12 states with Democratic attorneys general sued the Trump administration for allegedly imposing illegal tariffs on American citizens. Arizona Attorney General Kris Mayes, who was part of the lawsuit, sees this as a four-year fight to preserve the country from a lawless presidency and Trump's alleged coup attempt.

Strategizing behind the scenes, governors like Maura Healey of Massachusetts are focusing on concrete examples of what they're doing to push back against Trump's policies. In more grassroots efforts, New York Rep. Pat Ryan holds outreach events, giving constituents a platform to discuss the effects on their lives and businesses, often inviting Republican local officials who find themselves caught between loyalty to Trump and opposing his harmful impacts.

In the face of these challenges, Democrats are rekindling hope and faith in their own abilities to govern effectively. While they may not have the power to enact sweeping changes, they continue to work tirelessly to make a difference, one tangible impact at a time.
