In Fight for Congress, Democrats Run as Team Normal,' Casting G.O.P. as Weird'
Briefly

Democrats are increasingly framing their campaigns around the contrast between 'normal' and 'weird,' as evidenced by Landsman's appeal to voters to choose candidates perceived as more relatable over extremist Republican behavior.
Vice President Harris showcased this tactic during her debate against Trump, reacting with disbelief to his bizarre claims, signaling a shift in Democratic strategy towards more approachable and humorous campaigning.
Landsman's message resonates well with a variety of voters, including moderate donors and individuals from predominately Black churches, indicating broad appeal for a 'normal' candidate in a polarized political landscape.
This approach marks a departure from previous methods where Democrats warned against the threats of Republican extremism, moving towards a more optimistic and lighthearted tone that invites voter connection.
