California Democrats Plot National Return to Power
California Democrats gathered in San Francisco, fueled by opposition to Donald Trump and confidence in their ability to influence the upcoming midterm elections. Speakers like Nancy Pelosi and Adam Schiff expressed strong defiance, framing California as a national blueprint for resisting the Trump administration and a bulwark against its policies. The convention also highlighted internal party debates, particularly concerning the gubernatorial race and the growing divide with Silicon Valley, as Democrats grappled with how best to regain power and address structural issues affecting working-class citizens.
