Off-cycle wins across key states showed the strength of an energized liberal base, yet a new POLITICO Poll revealed that most 2024 Kamala Harris voters can’t name a single Democratic leader. The top response was “I don’t know,” followed by “nobody.”

Strategist Jared Leopold said the lack of consensus is typical for a party out of power. “Democrats were successful Tuesday as a big tent party running on affordability and against Donald Trump,” he said. “That’s the equation that will work as we move toward 2028.”
