Kenyatta, who travels extensively across the country, emphasized in a Fox News digital interview that Democrats “have to be involved in level one battles, not for power reasons, we have to fight hard, but we have to fight hard because we understand what is dangerous to the interests of workers and working families.”

The DNC faces a massive fundraising deficit at the hands of rival Republican National Committee (RNC) and is concerned about lagging party registrations.
Former RNC chairman Michael Whatley, who officially resigned during his campaign for the Senate earlier this month, argued in a Fox News digital interview that Democrats are “moving more and more to the left. They are now walking away from the main street.

But Kenyatta is optimistic in next year’s midterm elections, when Democrats will try to win a majority in Congress, while Republicans as power parties may face traditional political headwinds.
“The Democrats will block his way in every step of the way. We will do that by winning the election up and down in the vote. We will definitely do that by winning the House in 2026,” Kenyatta said.
