Democrats' huge mistake, revolt of the working class and other commentary

Jonathan Chait argues that Vice President Kamala Harris was defeated because the electorate rejected the Biden-Harris administration, reflecting a shift away from center politics toward more left positions.

Mark Penn emphasizes that Trump's win signaled to coastal elites that working-class and middle America are pivotal, criticizing the Democratic agenda for prioritizing climate change over lower energy costs.

Chait notes that the Democratic Party's response to Trump's 2016 victory was to veer left rather than center, which contributed to their decline and challenges in future elections.

Penn cautions that the Democratic Party needs to reassess its leftward drift to regain traction with mainstream America ahead of the 2028 elections.
