Ofirah Yheskel, director of external affairs at the Democratic Governors Association, discusses the 2025 election results and what they reveal about the state of the Democratic Party. Ofirah and Colin also discuss how the cost of living and government shutdown affected this year’s races.

The positions of American Progress, and our policy experts, are independent, and the findings and conclusions presented are those of American Progress alone. American Progress would like to acknowledge the many generous supporters who make our work possible.
