The Daily Signal’s Senior National Security and Legal Analyst Mehek Cooke said Democrats face a deepening identity crisis and are failing to respond to voter concerns, warning it could cost them in the upcoming midterm elections.
Appearing Thursday on Fox News’ “The Faulkner Focus,” Cooke argued that Democrats have yet to meaningfully reckon with their 2024 elechttps://youtu.be/nF3XIolhhi8tion losses, dismissing internal post-election reviews as inadequate.
“They are a day late and millions of voters now too short as we are looking at the midterms,” Cooke said of a post-election autopsy report released on Thursday by Democratic National Committee Chair Ken Martin. “This was not an autopsy—it was a confession on the Democrat side that they lost touch with millions of working-class, young men … and they still haven’t learned anything.”
Cooke criticized Democrats for being “border blind” amid surging illegal immigration and for overcomplicating core issues affecting voters.
“They are blaming themselves and then their TDS [Trump Derangement Syndrome] is overcomplicating the fact that voters today matter the most,” she said. “That’s how you deliver—by addressing the economy and ensuring working-class Americans are heard.”
Cooke predicted electoral consequences, arguing that Democrats “don’t know who they are” and are grappling with “the biggest identity crisis they are facing.”

The segment also turned to controversy surrounding a Texas congressional candidate, Maureen Galindo, who won the Democrat primary in March before drawing backlash over anti-Zionist remarks. Cooke condemned the comments as dangerous and reflective of a broader trend.
“Anti-Semitism does not belong in America, but guess what? Democrats have allowed it to find a safe haven,” Cooke said. “This was the number one candidate in her primary—which means Democrat voters knew exactly what they were choosing.”
Cooke warned against dismissing such rhetoric as isolated, arguing instead that it reflects a growing radicalism.
“We don’t need another American Holocaust,” she said, calling the candidate’s comments an attempt to “isolate Americans on our religious and political ideology.”
Cooke urged Republicans to forcefully confront what she described as rising anti-Jewish sentiment.
“This is the moment for the Republican Party,” she said. “We need to call out the hate, stand up, man up, and tell Americans what is really happening.”
She concluded that political leaders must stop fueling division and address the concerns of everyday Americans before it’s too late.
