US EditionDemocrats mark Trump’s first 100 days with speeches, sit-ins as party looks to project strength against administration
- Democrats marked President Trump's first 100 days in office with speeches, sit-ins, and rallies across the United States in early 2025 to challenge his administration's policies and project party strength.
- This response stemmed from Democrats struggling to oppose Trump’s agenda amid Republican control of Congress and pressure from disillusioned voters calling for stronger opposition ahead of the 2026 midterms.
- Democrats leveraged recent political developments, including elections in Wisconsin and Florida, large grassroots rallies led by figures such as Bernie Sanders and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, and coordinated legal action against tariffs to regain momentum.
- A Morning Consult poll showed Democrats holding a 3-point lead over Republicans on economic competency with 46% versus 43%, the first advantage in four years, while internal critiques highlighted the need for more effective messaging and grassroots efforts.
- These efforts suggest Democrats aim to rebuild faith in government and position themselves as a viable opposition, though uncertainty remains about whether they can translate activism into electoral success in a challenging political climate.

Democrats are losing the most important fight in history
The purpose of every protest, every call, every letter, every blog post, and every skeet being made in opposition to Donald Trump is the same: Show that what Trump is doing isn’t just wrong, it's also unpopular. Because popularity, like it or not, is...
In view of the profound changes made by the Trump administration, the Democrats would be called for as corrective, but in the first 100 days of the new government, the party is in crisis.
But where have the American Democrats gone? Since the defeat of his candidate Kamala Harris in November 2024, the "blue" party seems to have lost its voice.
