Senator Whitehouse Urges Democrats to Build 'War Machine' Against GOP

The Rhode Island senator calls for a strategic overhaul as Democrats prepare to elect a new DNC chair following significant electoral losses.

Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse (D-RI) has called on the Democratic National Committee to establish a 'war machine' to counter Republican messaging and strategies.
Whitehouse argues that Republicans have effectively used false narratives to gain political momentum, while Democrats have struggled to present their own narratives effectively.
The letter comes after Democrats faced major losses in the November elections, including Kamala Harris's defeat by Donald Trump and setbacks in House and Senate races.
The DNC is set to elect a new chair on February 1, 2025, with candidates proposing reforms to unify the party and revamp its strategy and messaging.
Some candidates, including Marianne Williamson, have emphasized the need to address the psychological appeal of MAGA, while others advocate for modernizing the party's approach to branding and outreach.
