Slotkin Urges New Democratic Leadership After 2024 Losses

3 articles · Updated · Fox News · Jun 26

Elissa Slotkin said Democrats need significant new leadership in both the House and Senate, arguing the party still has not recovered from its 2024 election defeats.
Speaking on SiriusXM, the Michigan senator said Democrats tried to prioritize too many issues, while Donald Trump won in 2024 with a simpler affordability-focused message.
Slotkin said the party should narrow its agenda and return to basics such as the economy and education, framing that shift as essential to reconnect with voters.
Her push comes as progressive candidates scored wins in New York Democratic primaries this week and after some Democratic senators moved earlier this year to challenge Chuck Schumer's leadership over the 2025 shutdown fight.
Senate Democrats are set to choose their leader after November's general election, giving Slotkin's call broader weight in the party's post-2024 reset.
