DNC Vice Chair On Democrats’ Midterm Tsunami, Winning Back Fatigued Donors And Why 2028 Shouldn’t Be Progressive Vs. Moderate

Democrats’ strong midterm results could help the Democratic National Committee attract donors who were discouraged after the party’s 2024 losses. Vice-chair Jane Kleeb says victories in places such as Kansas and Texas show that investing in state parties and organising across the country can pay off, and argues the party should build on that approach ahead of 2028.

Kleeb points to year-round organising and existing state-level staff and offices as an alternative to concentrating money in traditional battlegrounds or creating new groups. She says Texas is now a battleground and Florida could be one too, while crediting earlier voter registration and infrastructure work by figures including Beto O’Rourke and Stacey Abrams. The supplied article text ends partway through the interview, before Kleeb’s full response on the election margins.
