Policy specifics are elusive as House Democrats gather to prep midterm push

"He's raised prices on people all across the country without the authority to do so. But it has had an incredible impact on families all across the country and they're doubling down on it. - Rep. Suzan DelBene on Trump's tariff campaign and its effects on consumers."

"We can't be just anti-Trump. We have to have an agenda. - Rep. Debbie Dingell, emphasizing the need for Democrats to develop substantive policy proposals beyond opposition to the Trump administration."

Democrats face challenges including partisan gerrymandering reducing competitive seats and concerns that an anti-Trump message alone may be insufficient for midterm success. The party is working to develop a comprehensive agenda beyond opposition messaging.
