David Frum Examines the End of the “Resistance”
In a new article for The Atlantic, WWSG speaker David Frum examines the results of several 2026 Democratic primaries and what they may reveal about the party’s changing priorities. Frum argues that candidates who built their political identities around opposing President Donald Trump are losing ground to a more insurgent faction of the Democratic Party. Pointing to races in Florida and other competitive states, he contends that some primary voters are increasingly prioritizing internal ideological battles over selecting candidates they believe are best positioned to win general elections.
Frum sees this shift as a potentially consequential gamble for Democrats. In his view, progressive candidates can succeed in November only if centrist Democratic voters remain highly motivated by concerns about Trump and threats to democratic institutions—yet the primary victories of those candidates may themselves suggest that urgency around Trump is fading. He argues that the tension between ideological goals and electoral strategy could influence competitive Senate and House races in 2026 and ultimately shape the party’s approach heading toward the 2028 presidential election.
As a political commentator, bestselling author, and former White House speechwriter, David Frum brings sharp analysis and a nuanced understanding of American politics, public policy, and the forces shaping today’s political landscape. His ability to place breaking political developments into a broader historical and strategic context makes him a compelling speaker for audiences seeking to better understand what comes next.
