The Democrats have been trying to dodge the spotlight.
After all, Republicans have their issues to overcome. They are still trying to figure themselves out as a party following the departure of Donald Trump as President (and from a lot of the media coverage he was receiving during his time in the White House). Media outlets are trying really hard to keep Trump and his acolytes in the news, but with a Democratic administration comes a focus on what the party in power is doing.
For years leading up to the 2016 election, the media was playing up talk of a Republican civil war, where the moderates and the conservatives were going to war for the soul of the party. The election of Donald Trump signified, to almost everyone, that the conservatives won.

Tucker Carlson Tonight host analyzes steps government is taking to hide critical info about border crisis
In the fall of 2018, not long before that year s midterm elections, President Donald Trump ordered a small group of active-duty soldiers to the American border with Mexico.

For perspective, that is about half the number of troops that the Democratic Congress sent to Washington this winter to protect itself from an imaginary QAnon threat. For those with a vested interest in open borders, which is to say virtually everyone in D.C., any military presence on our border was just too much. It was intolerable. Official Washington went berserk when Trump did it.

Jaime Harrison officially elected Democratic National Committee chair
Former South Carolina Democratic Party Chair Jaime Harrison has officially been elected the next chair of the Democratic National Committee, winning the organization’s election after President Joe Biden selected him for the top political job.
Harrison, who unsuccessfully ran for the Senate in 2020, will now be asked to guide the top committee at a time when Democrats have control of all three key bodies in Washington, the White House, the Senate and the House of Representatives.
“I have no intention of letting victory turn into complacency, because we have seen what happens when we don’t invest everywhere. I plan to get to work to lift up the Biden-Harris administration, build on our progress and strengthen our party,” Harrison said.
