With the party grappling with how to prepare for midterm elections in two years, uncertainty about who will take over the Democrat National Committee, and expected internal debates over how to handle complete Republican control in the White House and on Capitol Hill, Democrats don’t have much time to find consensus on their path forward.
“It should come as no great surprise that a Democrat Party which has abandoned working class people would find that the working class has abandoned them,” Bernie Sanders said. “While the Democrat leadership defends the status quo, the American people are angry and want change. And they’re right.”
“We didn’t emphasize the economy,” Rep. Ro Khanna (D-California) said. “We didn’t emphasize the renewal of the American Dream. We didn’t emphasize manufacturing and higher wages and corporations not having excessive CEO pay. Instead, we spent a billion dollars having concerts all over America. I mean, it was ridiculous.”
Voters said the state of democracy and the economy were the top issues in their vote, according to exit polls, while majorities of voters said they trusted President Trump more to handle the economy, immigration, crime and “a crisis.”
