Southern Democrats see hope for first time in years
Original: Southern Democrats see hope for first time in years, seek to build on discontent of midterm voters
Southern Democrats say they see a genuine opening for the first time in years, as the party works to convert voter discontent from the midterm elections into lasting gains across the American South. Party leaders and organizers are aiming to build on the momentum by investing in local races and voter outreach, betting that frustration with the status quo can translate into electoral breakthroughs in a region long dominated by Republicans.
Why now: The midterms revealed voter discontent that Democrats believe could shift the political map in the South.
