Summary

The Democrat Party is undergoing a dramatic transformation before our eyes. With the 2024 election losses still fresh, the old leadership—Biden, Pelosi, Schumer, and Durbin—is facing a powerful insurgency from a radical new Left. From AOC and the Squad to activist figures like David Hogg, a new generation is rising—and the establishment is terrified. Victor Davis Hanson explores what this youth-driven movement means for the future of American politics on today’s edition of “Victor Davis Hanson: In His Own Words.” “ We're watching a metamorphosis of the Democratic Party that is out of power. The old guard: Nancy Pelosi, Joe Biden, Chuck Schumer, Dick Durbin—that old guard did not deliver the 2024 election. “ The Republicans are not afraid. They're not afraid of the squad and the Jacobins and this new cohort, the David Hoggs of the world. But you know who's terrified of them? Dick Durbin, Nancy Pelosi, and Chuck Schumer, because they don't know how to handle them.” 👉Don’t miss out on Victor’s latest videos by subscribing to The Daily Signal today.
