The Democratic National Committee launched a live, daily YouTube show on Monday, branding it as the party’s “go-to spot” for truth and a cornerstone of its revamped digital strategy heading into the 2026 midterm elections.
The show, The Daily Blueprint, airs each weekday at 10 a.m. Eastern and is hosted by DNC Deputy Communications Director Hannah Muldavin. Party leaders say the 15-minute livestream will aim to break down headlines, counter misinformation, and give viewers “actionable ways” to support Democratic efforts nationwide.
“The launch of The Daily Blueprint is an exciting new step for the Democratic Party — it cements our commitment to meet this moment and innovate the ways we get our message across in a new media landscape,” DNC Chairman Ken Martin said in a statement to Axios.
The show’s debut underscores a growing trend in political communications: bypassing traditional media and speaking directly to voters via online platforms. Democrats hope The Daily Blueprint will serve as an answer to the rapid rise of right-leaning digital influencers and podcasts that have become key channels for President Donald Trump and his allies.
Each episode will focus on breaking news, political analysis, and what the DNC calls “rapid response” messaging to frame Republican policies and statements in real time.
The launch comes as the DNC faces internal discord. Leaked audio published by Politico on Sunday revealed that Martin privately expressed frustration with Vice Chairman David Hogg during a May 15 Zoom meeting and accused the young activist of undermining his credibility just months into the job.
“You essentially destroyed any chance I have to show the leadership that I need to,” Martin told Hogg in the leaked call, adding that for the first time, he had questioned whether he wanted to remain in the role.

The infighting has raised questions about the party’s direction, even as it attempts to unify around a new media strategy. Hogg, known for his outspoken progressive activism, recently criticized the party on Real Time with Bill Maher, arguing that Democrats have alienated young male voters by appearing overly judgmental.
With under 18 months until the 2026 midterm elections, the DNC hopes its new digital messaging operation will energize its base, reach disaffected voters, and compete more effectively with Republicans in the ever-expanding online information battlefield.
