Polling shows the Democratic Party brand is unpopular.

And there's been an ongoing ideological tug of war about what the party even stands for and what it wants beyond just beating Donald Trump.

And there are other challenges.

Democratic groups and super PACs are being broadly outraised and potentially outspent by Republican groups and super donors like Elon Musk.

There are those new maps in Republican-controlled states that have made formerly competitive House seats a lot more red.

And most of the big Senate battlegrounds this year are in states that traditionally favor Republicans.

Think places like Texas or Georgia, even Alaska.

Other than that, though, it's basically a cakewalk.

So among the lawmakers most responsible for shifting through those challenges is Pete Aguilar.

He joins me now.

Hi, Congressman.

Welcome.

Garrett.

So for people around the country who want to know what a Trump midterm looks like, there is a blueprint from 2018.

You had a bunch of candidates who had these national security backgrounds.

You had a focus on health care, on accountability and on oversight.

Is that the playbook you're using for this November?

How important is Donald Trump as a unifying factor for Democrats?

There are so many factions.

There's so many different views about where the party should go.
