New Democratic Party

political parties who compete against each other, in order to run the nation. These political parties are known as the Republican Party, commonly known as the Grand Old Party, and the Democratic Party. Each party has a symbol of representation, in particular the elephant symbolizes the Republican Party. Thomas Nast created this symbol to portray that the Republicans are strong and dignified. The party was founded through antislavery activist and the members of the activists of the Whig Party in 1854

1988 the Democratic Party had the same main views throughout the four elections; however election-by-election, piece-by-piece, little things began to change. The Democratic Party began to evolve over the twenty-four year period. As well as the campaign videos used by the media to depict the candidates also evolved. During the 1964 election the candidates were Lyndon B. Johnson, for the Democratic Party, and Barry Goldwater, for the Republican Party. Many topics in the Democratic Party for the

The Democratic Party of this period, was mainly backed by the interests of immigrant groups like the

who will represent them which makes the system democratic and fair. This year the United States is having an election between two candidates that received the nomination by winning the most amount of votes throughout the country. The presidential candidates were able to win because the presidential primary system allows people to vote for their ideal leader. Hillary Clinton won for the democrat party and Donald Trump is running for the republican party this year; even if most of the republican leaders

scene, the Democratic-Republican Party was the only political party in existence. The Federalist Party, the former opposing party, ceased to exist during the War of 1812 following the aftermath of the Hartford Convention.

In the convention’s report to Madison, Federalist stated their right of nullification and established

choice in the U.S. elections. Party identification is the most top factor in a person's voting choice. Some voters are members of either the two majors political parties; the Democratic Party or the Republican Party. These party affiliations are usually determined by a person's influences from family, peers, media and the assessment of the candidates and the issues. Independents who are not affiliated with either party does not have a particular loyalty to any party. They vote mainly on the issues

America, two of the first political parties emerged, in opposition towards each other. These parties had different beliefs, but also shared many ideas. One of the two parties was the Federalist party, which was a group of individuals that supported the new federal Constitution. Being led by Alexander Hamilton and John Adams, they were comprised of northerns, bankers, merchants, and the wealthy.

presidential primary is an election where members of the electorate can vote for a candidate for the Republican or Democrat presidential nomination. In an open primary any registered voter can vote, these are favoured more by the democratic party, whilst the republican party usually runs a closed primary, where only registered republicans can vote.

Congressman Kay Granger from the Republican Party since 1996. The Congress District 12 is Gerrymander.

Kay Granger was elected as a Congressman for the 10th consecutive time as a member of the Republican Party. Congress District 12 is evenly distrusted

important. Both parties could benefit greatly from a positive election outcome. The Democratic Party lost much of the power it had a few years ago, and is looking to make substantial gains in congress. The Republican Party wishes to reassert itself as the dominant party in the country. Only time will tell what results the midterm elections will yield. I predict a radical shift towards the Democratic Party in the upcoming midterm election nationally, and continued support towards the party in New Jersey.
