Democrats have a lot of problems right now. Finding candidates eager to run for office isnt one of them, NOTUS reports.
Since Donald Trumps election, a groundswell of Democratic candidates has emerged to start campaigns for local, state and federal races, according to party operatives and a review of campaign announcements. Its a level of engagement some Democratic strategists say reminds them of the wave of candidates that helped the party sweep to big victories in 2017 and 2018 during Trumps first years in office.

Look at all the nonstop protests/rallies since the Orange Baffoon was elected. People are pissed & want to fight back anyway they can.

Impeachment and removal level numbers.
IF the midterms happen.

At this rate, assuming we still have an even remotely free election, I sense a blowout.
