Story summary

The US Democratic Party's internal divisions are causing concern as the midterm elections approach. With two months left until election day, Democrats are struggling with what their party stands for, leading to a "civil war" between progressives and moderates. Progressives have been winning key primary victories, while establishment Democrats worry that these progressive candidates can't win in Republican-leaning states. Both sides think they've learned from the 2024 defeat, but have different ideas about how to move forward: progressives believe more moderation has failed, while moderates argue that giving voters who supported President Donald Trump a voice is key to winning. In order to beat Trump and Republicans, Democrats need to win in these competitive districts and states, which means finding common ground between the two factions.
