Democrats and Republicans are two big political groups in the United States
They often have different ideas about how the government should help people
Democrats usually want the government to help more with things like health care, schools, and helping people who need support
Republicans usually want people and businesses to have more freedom and want the government to do less
Both groups want the country to be safe and successful
People can disagree about the best way to solve problems
Some people agree with parts of both groups
Adults vote for the group or person they think will do the best job
It is okay for people to have different opinions
