'We've got to energize this party': Democratic Party struggles to stay relevant in the Trump era - Velshi - MSNBC [View all]

While some Democratic members have found a message and a method to fight back against the Trump administration, the opposition isn’t being led by the Democratic Party itself.

Fmr. Ohio Dem Chair David Pepper warns that a lot of harm is originating from state houses. “The damage is coming from the bottom up,” he tells Ali Velshi. Radio host Thom Hartmann adds, “I’ve been encouraging people, progressives in particular, to get inside the Democratic Party and start taking on these positions because we’ve got to energize this party.” - Aired on 08/24/2025.
