The Democratic Party is currently going through a period of internal change. This is seen in the challenges facing current officeholders and the changing levels of support for potential 2028 presidential candidates.

民主黨目前正處於一個內部變革時期。這體現在現任職位持有者所面臨的挑戰，以及對 2028 年潛在總統候選人支持度的變化中。

There is a clear trend of voters rejecting current incumbents during Democratic primary elections. Several established lawmakers are being challenged by candidates who want a new generation of leaders and a move away from traditional politics. For example, in New York, Representative Dan Goldman is facing a challenge from Brad Lander, who is supported by Senators Sanders and Warren; a major point of disagreement is how military aid to Israel is handled. Similarly, Representative Adriano Espaillat is facing competition from Darializa Avila Chevalier. In Florida, Representative Debbie Wasserman Schultz is running in a district with a Black majority, which has caused House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries to express concern that Black political representation might decrease.

在民主黨的初選中，選民呈現出明顯拒絕現任者的趨勢。幾位資深立法者正受到希望由新一代領導並脫離傳統政治的候選人挑戰。例如在紐約，眾議員 Dan Goldman 正面臨 Brad Lander 的挑戰，後者受到參議員 Sanders 和 Warren 的支持；兩者分歧的主要焦點在於如何處理對以色列的軍事援助。同樣地，眾議員 Adriano Espaillat 則面臨來自 Darializa Avila Chevalier 的競爭。在佛羅里達州，眾議員 Debbie Wasserman Schultz 在一個黑人佔多數的選區參選，這導致眾議院少數黨領袖 Hakeem Jeffries 表示擔心黑人的政治代表性可能會下降。

Further evidence of this shift can be seen in California and Texas. In a recent primary, city councilmember Mai Vang performed better than Representative Doris Matsui. Meanwhile, Representative Al Green was defeated by Representative Christian Menefee after redistricting forced two incumbents to compete for one seat. These events suggest that voters now prefer new leadership over long-term experience.

在加州和德州可以見到這種轉向的更多證據。在最近的一次初選中，市議員 Mai Vang 的表現優於眾議員 Doris Matsui。同時，由於重新劃分選區迫使兩位現任者競爭一個席位，眾議員 Al Green 被眾議員 Christian Menefee 擊敗。這些事件表明，選民現在比起長期經驗，更傾向於新的領導層。

At the same time, polling data from the Center Square Voters’ Voice Poll shows a change in support for the 2028 presidential race. Although former Vice President Kamala Harris still has the most support at 27%, this is a drop from 33% in October. Governor Gavin Newsom has also seen his support fall to 14%. In contrast, Secretary Pete Buttigieg's popularity has grown, reaching double digits for the first time. Analysis shows that Harris remains popular with Black and young voters, whereas Newsom is more popular with voters aged 65 and older and those with advanced degrees.

與此同時，Center Square Voters’ Voice Poll 的民調數據顯示 2028 年總統大選的支持度有所變動。雖然前副總統 Kamala Harris 仍擁有最高支持率（27%），但較 10 月的 33% 有所下降。州長 Gavin Newsom 的支持率也下降至 14%。相反，部長 Pete Buttigieg 的支持度有所成長，首次達到雙位數。分析顯示，Harris 在黑人與年輕選民中依然受歡迎，而 Newsom 則在 65 歲及以上以及擁有高等學位的選民中更受歡迎。

The Democratic Party is currently managing a transition where long-term politicians are less secure and the field of potential presidential candidates is becoming more diverse.

民主黨目前正在經歷一個過渡期，長期從政的政治人物地位不再穩固，而潛在總統候選人的陣容正變得更加多元化。
