JUST IN: NYT Sounds The Alarm, Reveals Hidden Crisis For Dems

A new report from the New York Times is ringing the alarm bells about a hidden crisis that most within the Democratic Party don’t even know exists. Out of 30 states that track voter registration by political party affiliation, Democrats ended up losing ground to the GOP in all but one of them between 2020 and 2024, causing them to hemorrhage voters before they even reach the polls.

Overall, the numbers were staggering.

In total, the NYT pointed out that during that four-year period, the shift toward the Republican Party added up to a whopping 4.5 million voters. The article stated that the deficit could take Democrats years to recover from.

Data indicates voters aren’t simply walking away from the Democratic Party. It’s a full-on stampede. And it’s happening in battleground states, blue states, and red states, too. The analysis of this crisis for the left was completed by the NYT and used voter registration data compiled by L2, a nonpartisan data firm.

“Few measurements reflect the luster of a political party’s brand more clearly than the choice by voters to identify with it — whether they register on a clipboard in a supermarket parking lot, at the Department of Motor Vehicles or in the comfort of their own home. And fewer and fewer Americans are choosing to be Democrats. In fact, for the first time since 2018, more new voters nationwide chose to be Republicans than Democrats last year,” the article said.

The analysis revealed the Democrats lost 2.1 million registered voters in the 30 states that have party registration, as well as Washington, D.C., between 2020 and 2024.

Republicans, on the other hand, gained 2.4 million.

NYT analysts pointed out that there are still more registered Democrats nationwide than Republicans. However, this is mostly due to California, which allows residents to register by party, while others, like Texas (a red state) do not. However, Democrats are deeply troubled over the latest big shove to the right.

“I don’t want to say, ‘The death cycle of the Democratic Party,’ but there seems to be no end to this,” Michael Pruser, who looks at voter registration closely as the director of data science for Decision Desk HQ, an election-analysis site, went on to say. “There is no silver lining or cavalry coming across the hill. This is month after month, year after year.”

One reason things have started to change is that Democrats have, for many years, relied on a large network of nonprofit organizations designed to help register black, Latino, and young voters to the party. It’s become a given that these minority groups would just automatically be liberals Democrats.

However, President Donald Trump has seemingly shifted that, the NYT pointed out. The president managed to carve out significant chunks of those demographics for his 2024 coalition.

“You can’t just register a young Latino or a young Black voter and assume that they’re going to know that it’s Democrats that have the best policies,” the Times explained.

While all this is happening, the radical left is infighting and struggling to decide which of their groups should get funding. Thus, ultimately, partisan philanthropists and Democratic Party constituencies are at each other’s throats, with the stakes being hundreds of millions in funding.

To summarize, the NYT believes the Democratic Party is imploding. Leftists within the party agree and are now fighting with each other over who gets funding and how these groups can use the money to try to coax young people, blacks, and Latinos into returning to the Democratic Party.
