Democrats Form The Bench Group to Support New Candidates

Democrats have launched a new political group called The Bench, aimed at supporting a new generation of candidates to reshape the party as they seek to regain House and Senate majorities amid low approval ratings. The group is backing three Senate candidates, including Michigan’s Mallory McMorrow, and a dozen House contenders across various states. Their mission focuses on providing tools and strategies for these candidates to connect with voters and challenge the status quo. Critics from the GOP label the Democratic Party as a “broken brand,” claiming these candidates are too radical for the working class.
