Democrats hit the anti-incumbency trap

Democrats are grappling with a familiar Republican tactic: riding the anti-incumbency wave. This populist surge following President Trump's return is shaking up Democratic primaries and making party leaders anxious about their chances in the upcoming general election. It’s a lesson Republicans learned painfully in recent years, as they saw their own party members ousted in surprising midterm defeats. This internal turmoil could affect Democratic strategy and cohesion, highlighting the risks of getting caught up in the same wave that once buoyed the opposition.
