Democrats are on track to make gains in the November midterm elections, but they’re benefiting from President Trump’s unpopularity—not their own party’s image. In fact, Democrats have received some of their lowest approval ratings ever since Trump took office last year.

Democratic voters are divided over what they believe their party should stand for and who is best equipped to beat Republicans. The party’s far-left flank has been ascendent with members of the Democratic Socialists of America and other progressives toppling longtime incumbents in some party primaries. For the first time ever, several highly competitive Senate and House seats will have far-left candidates as the Democratic nominees—a test of progressive power in competitive races.

We asked a group of Democratic voters from across the country to join us to talk about the party at this moment. Watch the video to learn more.

In the coming weeks we will have a video discussion with young men who voted for Trump in 2024. A year ago we spoke to a group of them to get their read on Trump’s first six months in office. We brought them back together to see how they feel about the administration now.

Florida’s most populous county, Miami-Dade is roughly 70% Hispanic. Two-thirds speak Spanish at home. More than 50% are immigrants. And about one-third are Cuban. In 2024, Trump became the first Republican presidential candidate to flip Miami-Dade County since 1988.

With the 2026 midterms quickly approaching, WSJ’s Sabrina Rodriguez returns home to Miami for a mood check: Two years into Trump’s second term, how are Miami residents feeling about his handling of the economy and immigration? Are they motivated to turn out in November?

At the Mountain School, families pay $40,000 a semester for their teens to do chores on a farm in rural Vermont. Their goal: Students learn to appreciate the people doing these tasks in every community.⁠
⁠
Some students and alums consider the Mountain School a secret path to top colleges. Other families are seeking a wider perspective beyond traditional schooling and a rare reprieve from technology.⁠
