Democrats are feeling buoyant after the midterms, as the Crooked Con conference in Washington showcased a united, forward-looking party.
The event, which took place last weekend, was organized by the media company founded by former Obama staffers and drew newly elected Democrats, veteran lawmakers, and liberal content creators for a day of strategy and celebration.
Attendees filled the venue with energy, discussing policy priorities and the party's chances in the upcoming Congress, while the overall mood reflected confidence in their prospects.
