More than a month has passed since Vice President Kamala Harris lost to Donald Trump. the view There are still questions about how the Democratic Party will be able to reconnect with young voters, especially after Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez lost the House Oversight Committee to the more moderate Rep. Gerry Connolly for leadership on the House Oversight Committee. I'm thinking.
Alyssa Farrar Griffin, the only Republican at the Hot Topics table, believes most Americans do not agree with some of the more progressive policies presented.
“The devil is in the details, because many people in this country don't support, for example, the Green New Deal, which would completely destroy jobs across this country and wreak havoc on the economy. ,” Griffin said.
Mr. Griffin continued, ignoring Sunny Hostin's objections. “Due to the regulations that will be implemented, international travel will become virtually impossible.”
The former White House staffer then turned his attention to universal health care.
“Of course, there are also people who need emergency coverage. [should have it and] “People should have catastrophic insurance, but most Americans want some choice and choice in their health care,” she said. “There's a reason there was no public choice in Obamacare. That's not where the majority of the country is.”
Griffin argued that Ocasio-Cortez is “obviously too left-wing for the majority of the country,” before explaining why he thinks Harris lost the presidential race.
“This may sound strange from my perspective as a Republican who didn't support Trump. I think the Democrats focused too much on Trump,” she said. “The people who were meant to be with Donald Trump were meant to be with Donald Trump. We needed more of, 'This is who we are.' This is what we are actively fighting for. ”
“I can think of three or four policies that the vice president has put forth,” she said. “She talked about supporting elderly parents and paying first-time homebuyers.”
When Hostin reminded Griffin about Harris's “opportunity economy” proposal, Griffin said: What does that mean? “
“In this world we live in, especially after three months, I don't know if people didn't understand what she was for, and a lot of her position in 2020, she's… I was on the complete opposite side of where I am now,” Griffin said. “So I think we need to decide not what we are against, but what we are.”
