On Wednesday's broadcast of NBC's “Today” show, Chuck Todd, NBC News' chief political analyst, said the Democratic Party has “embraced the ideals of the party of the elites, embraced the party of suburban America, and is essentially a party of rural America.” I walked away and didn't try to do that.” Please take it back. ” and “I think that “ignoring” the border and the economy for as long as the Biden administration has put them in this hole. ”
“I remember talking to some people four years ago about how if Donald Trump didn't alienate certain voting groups, he could form a multiracial working-class coalition,” Todd said. “There is,” he said. Well, that part didn't matter. He has put together a multi-ethnic working class coalition, which makes up the majority of the country. That's over 50%. And the Democratic Party has pardoned itself, essentially embraced the creed of the party of the elites, embraced the party of suburban America, essentially walked away from rural America and never tried to get it back. And when you look at it, culturally, it looks like we've lost this group of voters. Losing working-class whites was another thing. Now they are losing working class Hispanics. and, [if] If this continues, working class African Americans will be lost. ”
He added that Democrats rely too much on identity politics.
Todd went on to say that Trump likely would have won in 2020 had it not been for the coronavirus pandemic, that voters liked him on the economy and the border, and that Trump would have won “as much as they did during the Biden administration.” “I think we've been ignoring these two things for a long time.” into this hole. ”
