Overview

• At the Minneapolis summer meeting on Tuesday, the DNC Resolutions Committee approved Ken Martin’s cease-fire, humanitarian aid, and two-state resolution before he withdrew it and said he would appoint a task force to keep talks going.
• A competing measure from 26-year-old member Allison Minnerly seeking an arms embargo and a suspension of U.S. military aid to Israel failed after a contentious debate.
• The clash underscored generational and ideological splits inside the party, with younger activists citing large grassroots support and pressing for a tougher line on Israel.
• Martin remains under pressure over money and management, with federal filings showing $14 million cash on hand at the end of July versus the RNC’s $84 million, even as a private no-confidence effort against him stalled.
• Party leaders called for unity and a renewed focus on economic messaging, while committees also began work on proposals to limit dark money in the 2028 nominating process and to map out the next primary calendar.
