DNC members rally around pro-DEI resolution: 'These are American values'

The DNC's Resolutions Committee, meeting on Tuesday during the second day of the national party's annual summer meeting, unanimously passed a resolution affirming what it highlighted as the "American Values' of diversity, equity, and inclusion. Following last year's election setbacks, when Democrats lost control of the White House and Senate and failed to win back the House majority, some in the party have second-guessed their support for DEI and transgender rights. Trump, in the opening months of his second term in the White House, has signed several executive orders taking aim at transgender and DEI policies implemented by then-President Joe Biden and by major universities and corporations.
