"Right before Election Day, I noted here that even if the Democrats won, there would still be much "work to do to better articulate what the Democratic Party stands for" so Dems can "offer their own governing vision and earn the broader mandate necessary to win election after election."

Today, a new Democratic Congress will be sworn-in.

Next week, The First 100 Hours agenda, focusing on issues that command wide support, is the right initial step to build trust with the public.

After that, the need to articulate a clear vision will become increasingly urgent.

Without a vision that explains where Democrats want to take our country, conservatives will be able to distort the underlying motivation behind Democratic proposals, and promising ideas to tackle big problems will never get debated on their merits.
