In the last Congress, Democrats repeatedly helped Republicans keep the government open and propped up Speaker Mike Johnson when he faced a challenge to his leadership post. He even tapped other senior House Democrats to echo his message to the Biden team, according to another person familiar with the efforts. Still, unlike some in his party, Jeffries is not in despair, according to multiple people familiar with his thinking. But Democrats say Jeffries — alongside Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, who will serve as minority leader in the next Congress — might be the best person to at least try. Internal party sparringOne of Jeffries’ toughest tasks will be keeping Democrats unified on immigration despite the many intraparty divisions.

But I don't regret my decision to graduate a year early from high school. It was disappointing to think that the moment I always envisioned marking the end of high school would look very different. But that was overshadowed by the promise of not having to return to high school again. I finished high school at the end of July and started college a week after I turned 17. Five years ago, my daughter Skyler decided to graduate from high school early.

☆ Many women are unsure about Trump’s style and agenda. They voted for him anyway
▼ + stars: | 2024-11-19 | by ( Ronald Brownstein | ) edition.cnn.com time to read: +20 min

But even with Trump’s gains among men, women still had greater leverage to decide the election’s outcome. Both the exit polls and VoteCast showed her winning 57% of white women with at least a four-year college degree. Solid majorities of Black, Latina and college-educated White women described Trump in the exit poll as “too extreme,” as did over two-fifths of the White women without a college degree. But among the White women without a college degree who described Trump as “too extreme,” almost 1 in 5 voted for him anyway. Though many women are expressing unease about mass deportation, Trump’s claim that immigrants are driving crime may provide him considerable leeway to pursue his agenda, particularly among the blue-collar White women who proved most receptive to that argument.

Vice President Kamala Harris and Democrats convinced frequent voters and highly engaged voters to stick with them in the 2024 presidential election. “One of the main takeaways from this cycle is that the Democratic Party has a lot of work to do on how we’re reaching voters,” Democratic strategist Christina Freundlich said. 'We simply stopped communicating to many voters'Democrats overperforming with highly engaged voters — but struggling with less-engaged voters — reflects America’s political realignment over the past decade, as Democrats have made gains among college-educated and more frequent voters, while Republicans have won over more working-class and less-frequent voters. Media consumption also underscores the political split between highly engaged voters and less-engaged ones. Schale, the Democratic strategist from Florida, argues that Democrats “simply stopped communicating” with huge swaths of voters.

Money manager John Davi is positioning for challenges tied to President-elect Donald Trump's tariff agenda. Davi said he worries the new administration's policies could be "very inflationary," so he thinks it is important to choose investments carefully. "Small-cap industrials make more sense than large-cap industrials," the Astoria Portfolio Advisors CEO told CNBC's "ETF Edge" this week. Davi, whose firm has $1.9 billion in assets under management, also likes staying domestic despite the tariff risks. But Davi plans to stay away from fixed income due to challenges tied to the growing budget deficit.

President-elect Donald Trump said Thursday that he will nominate Doug Collins, a former House member from Georgia, to lead the Department of Veteran Affairs in his administration. Collins, an Iraq war veteran who left Congress in 2021, was a fierce defender of Trump during his 2019 impeachment inquiry. "Doug is a Veteran himself, who currently serves our Nation as a Chaplain in the United States Air Force Reserve Command, and fought for our Country in the Iraq War," Trump said in a statement Thursday. Collins said he was honored to accept the nomination and vowed to deliver best-in-class care to veterans. Trump has expressed support for Collins in the past, having floated him as a potential challenger to Georgia Gov.

If Kamala Harris' campaign was known for anything, it was its blockbuster fundraising. The overarching challenge at this point for what is left of Harris' campaign is that the financial picture is shrouded in mystery — even for those within the organization. What is even more unusual are the explosive clashes taking place in and around the Harris campaign universe. The requests have all been shut down and two Harris campaign officials told NBC News that the email list is not for sale. “We had some emails pre-scripted for a long fight,” a senior campaign official close to the strategy said.

The reality is that both parties learn lessons from losing elections that apply only in the short term — say, from one presidential election to the next midterm or from one midterm to the next presidential election. Not anymore — it’s why Democrats usually overperform in special elections, with more devoted “every election” voters right now. Meanwhile, in the non-battlegrounds, which were more affected by the basic “mood music” of the election, Democrats were shellacked. The seeds of discontent with this version of the Democratic Party can be traced back a decade to Obama’s decision to anoint Hillary Clinton as his successor.

In today’s edition, senior national political reporter Jonathan Allen explains why Democrats need to retool their economic message during Donald Trump's second term. Plus, senior national politics reporter Matt Dixon writes that the battle to succeed Trump in four years is already underway. How Trump broke both parties — and where Democrats go from hereBy Jonathan AllenOver the course of the last decade, President-elect Donald Trump broke both national political parties. Before Trump, Democrats nominated — and the country twice elected — Barack Obama, a candidate who ran against leaders that walked the country into forever wars and a finance-and-housing crisis that nearly toppled the economy. Harris’ economic policy offerings were largely expansions of Biden proposals, such as more generous homebuyer and child tax credits than he called for.

Donald Trump’s return to the presidency has done something no political opponent could: put an end date on his time atop the Republican Party. Trump single-handedly remade the Republican Party in his own image, not only becoming its unquestioned leader but also rewiring what the Grand Old Party stands for. “We are getting four more years of Trump and then eight years of JD Vance!” Trump Jr. said last week as he campaigned for Ohio Senate candidate Bernie Moreno. He had a shaky start, but he has steadied himself,” a veteran Republican operative said. “A Trump win means [the 2028] field will be slower to develop,” a longtime Republican operative said.

In the final weeks of the campaign, Trump kept supporters at a Michigan rally waiting for hours after he detoured to Texas to record Rogan’s show. And then many of them suddenly found themselves running Harris’ campaign. “This has been an historic partnership in which these teams have worked together extraordinarily well,” said a White House official who has been there from the beginning. “Not enough people understand the importance of that,” a Trump campaign official said of the Kennedy nod. It was the first energizing move that the campaign had since the switch-out.”A Democrat close to the Harris campaign said: “Brat summer had to end.

Nobody was a bigger winner than Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong. Coinbase shares soared 31% on Wednesday, their best day on record, as investors celebrated the company's victorious efforts to get pro-crypto candidates into office. "I am so grateful to Ohioans for their resounding support in this race," Moreno said in a statement Tuesday night. "I look forward to working with the new Republican Senate majority to fix our economy, secure our border, and return to American strength at home and abroad." "In the beginning, a lot of people didn't know what crypto was," Armstrong said of his earlier trips.
