Congratulations on making it through the Trump inauguration. As we reflect on recent events, it's clear that our commitment to democracy is more crucial than ever.

Recently, we covered the candidates to lead the Democratic National Committee and their plans to to reenergize the Democratic Party. These individuals are stepping up to engage disinterested and exhausted voters, aiming to reignite the passion that drives our collective mission.

The candidates include Wisconsin Democratic Chair Ben Wikler, Minnesota Party Chair Ken Martin, former Maryland Gov. Martin O'Malley, 2022 Arkansas congressional candidate Quintessa Hathaway, self-help author Marianne Williamson, New York state Sen. James Skoufis, and attorney Jason Paul. Their participation in a groundbreaking forum with CHORUS, a team of progressive online creators, marked a significant step toward connecting with a broader audience. Notably, 85% of viewers were engaging with a DNC forum for the first time, indicating a renewed interest in our party's future.

However, revitalizing our party and strengthening our democracy requires more than just new leadership—it demands active participation and support from dedicated individuals like you. At Daily Kos, we strive to respect your engagement by focusing on meaningful content and strategic initiatives that genuinely contribute to our shared goals.
