THE HILL: Lost Democrats Find Identity Crisis in Left vs Center
October 27, 2025
Democrats are lost and are the first to acknowledge they’re having an identity crisis.
There are Democrats who believe the answer is to lean left, who point to the energy reflected in the progressive rallies held earlier this year by Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.).
And then there are others who argue winning the 2028 presidential election will require moving back to the center to appeal to not only their base but to moderate voters who might otherwise stay home or vote Republican.
Democratic strategist and Partner Rodell Mollineau shared his thoughts on what will take the lead in the 2028 presidential election in The Hill.
