Democrats are grappling with internal divisions as they navigate President Trump’s first 100 days, highlighted by a recent rally in Bakersfield, California, featuring Senator Bernie Sanders and Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez on their “Fighting Oligarchy” tour. Despite Trump’s significant local support, the event resonated with local Democrats and left-leaning Independents frustrated with their party’s lack of effective opposition. Amid calls for a more unified and urgent Democratic response, various factions within the party are debating the need to shift more centrist to regain broader support.
