The numbers show Democrats have an image problem, amid record-low approval ratings and a growing voter registration gap. To reverse that trend, some Democrats are working to build a message they say can win over more Americans.
Democrats suffered heavy losses in the 2024 elections, both nationally and in battleground states. Last year more new voters registered Republican than Democrat for the first time since 2018, according to data from business intelligence firm L2.
“Democrats have to reestablish trust with voters and win a whole bunch of folks back,” said Rep. Greg Landsman, D-Ohio.
Landsman hopes to lead the charge to reestablish trust by offering a legislative agenda called a “Pledge to America,” which includes 10 bills to address issues like the tax code, health care, crime and immigration.
The structure of the plan echoes that of the Republican “Contract with America” in 1994 that helped the GOP win control of Congress for the first time in 40 years.
“Our Pledge to America, which is 10 bills that will fundamentally fix this and lead to what I would I believe will be this great American comeback, a comeback from this chaos,” Landsman said.
“This is what we want. We don't want to just be chasing Trump all the time. We want something to hold on to that is better than this. We need a path forward.”
Landsman’s Pledge to America comes as other Democrats are pursuing similar ideas.
The New Democrat Coalition, a group of 116 center-left House Democrats, earlier this year released their “New Dem Vision,” an agenda focusing on three pillars: economic growth, health and safe communities and strong national security and defense. Each pillar includes a task force and a list of policy recommendations.

Huh. Thought this was the Bee. Too late for image improvements, Commies.
Always building a message. We got the message...you suck. You’re policy ideas are stupid and anti-American.
Another pretty package won’t help.
They just can’t get their message across if anybody else is allowed to message.
Some more assassinations should do it.
Beauty is only skin deep, but ugly goes clean to the bone.
Right.
They've been working on "framing" for at least the last fifty years.
Rhymes With.
You mean that whole
, “Who are you going to believe, me or your lying eyes?” strategy isn’t working? Weird.
So a fresh set of falsehoods or gas lighting.
Wouldn’t it be easier to just to give up leave the toxic Party?
Only the ghoulish 20% of the country is with you now.
Otherwise called, "how can we lie better?"
Good luck with that. Won’t happen.
More Dems will continue to leave the Democrat Plantation.
Murder and mayhem unites them. They should call themselves The Jokers.
No they didn't, they all said on PBS,ABC, CBS, NBC, CNN, CBC...on election night it was very close, razor thin, a real nail-biter...at least that's what they said til about 2:30 am...
Americans have Democrats fatigue.They stood by and watched themselves fall over the cliff.
Wouldn’t it be easier to just to give up leave the toxic Party?
><
Many are already doing that.
New Democrat Party message—vote for us or our terrorist wing will kill you—and blame you for it!
Translation: We need to tell lies better!
I think the most significant thing to happen with Trump's election in 2024 was that Black men have realized that Obama scammed them so they decided to vote for Trump.
It's real because it's the first big step leaving the Democratic Plantation.
“…and strong national security and defense.”
Yeah, obozo broached this one. You don’t want to put these people in charge of security and Defense because what they’ll put underneath that umbrella is un American
