Representative Jason Crow of Colorado argues that to win back the House in 2026, Democrats need to reconnect with working-class Americans. He observes that many feel alienated from the party, perceiving it as representing cultural elites rather than everyday workers. Crow emphasizes the importance of recognizing the diverse experiences within communities and suggests that Democrats must regain the trust and respect of working-class voters who feel overlooked. His insights reflect a broader concern about the party's loss of its historical identification with the working class, which is vital for electoral success.
"Many who shower later – working-class folks living paycheck-to-paycheck – have tuned out Democrats. They’re not listening to us, because they don’t believe that we respect them and see them."
"Mathematically speaking, this is no way to win the White House, the Senate or the House... the Democratic Party became identified as the champion of cultural elites."
