During a recent town hall in Santa Clara, Congressman Ro Khanna encountered a frustrated crowd of Democratic constituents who voiced feelings of abandonment by their party. Many attendees expressed grievances regarding the Trump administration and rising influence of figures like Elon Musk. With nearly 49% of voters being Democrats in Khanna's district, the overwhelming sentiment suggested disillusionment with Democratic leadership, raising concerns about the party's direction ahead of the critical 2026 midterms as they seek to reconnect with their base.
I'm a longtime Democratic voter, but I've really lost faith in the leadership.

The tone of Khanna's monthly town hall reflected an overwhelming sense that many of those Democrats felt abandoned by their party.
As Democratic legislators look toward the 2026 midterms, they are testing the waters at town hall meetings.
