“The Daily Show” host Jon Stewart<\/a> revealed Thursday he\u2019s unsure the Democratic Party is back on track, even though it won several state and local elections on Tuesday.\u00a0<\/p>\n

During his “The Weekly Show” podcast, Stewart told his guests \u2014 MSNBC host Chris Hayes and former Obama campaign manager David Plouffe \u2014 that the Democratic Party hasn\u2019t gotten it together despite the victories.<\/p>\n

“I think the Democrats are still a mess. I truly believe they are a mess,” Stewart said.<\/p>\n

Democratic candidates secured victories in several blue states across the country Tuesday night. Democratic candidate Abigail Spanberger won Virginia\u2019s governor\u2019s race, while Rep. Mikie Sherrill captured the New Jersey governorship.<\/p>\n

Democratic socialist Zohran Mamdani<\/a> also won his election for mayor of New York City.<\/p>\n

Stewart argued that those victories don\u2019t prove that the party is turning a corner following their disastrous 2024 performance, but said there\u2019s “energy” within the electorate that they haven\u2019t quite tapped into.<\/p>\n

“What this shows to me is, again, there is this underlying potential energy within the United States of America that is much larger than I think any of us could have imagined and channeling that energy directionally will be the challenge for whoever wants to harness it.”<\/p>\n

“I still don\u2019t believe they\u2019re doing that,” Stewart added, referring to Democratic leaders.<\/p>\n

Plouffe responded that conditions in the midterm elections<\/a> next year should be “just as good, if not better, for Democrats,” as Republicans are currently “in complete control and people are deeply dissatisfied.”<\/p>\n

However, he did agree with Stewart on the state of the Democratic Party, acknowledging that even though the GOP faces struggles, the Democrats do as well.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“And then the big part where I agree with you, Jon, where the Democrats are still too much of a mess is, the Republican brand is terrible. We kind of have market failure. 80% of the country doesn’t like either option,” Plouffe said.<\/p>\n

He noted that the strategy going forward is to focus on making the Democratic Party “stronger.”<\/p>\n

“So, if we become stronger, if we have candidates who seem different \u2014 they’re good at critiquing Republicans, but also seem that they want to challenge the status quo and say the Democratic Party’s gotten some things wrong,” the party will win the tougher races in states that aren’t deeply blue, he argued.<\/p>\n

“And we have a long way to go because Virginia and New Jersey are not Iowa and Ohio and the Sun Belt. So that’s where we have to get to as a party is \u2014 can we maximize Republican weakness but also maximize Democratic strength? You put those things together, that’s how we become more competitive in more places \u2014 which, for the fate of the nation, is what we have to do,” Plouffe said.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
