** Democrats Pay the Price for Ignoring Working Americans
------------------------------------------------------------
By Will Marshall
Founder and President of the Progressive Policy Institute
for The Hill ([link removed])
Having fired Donald Trump ([link removed]) in 2020, U.S. voters did an about-face Tuesday and sent him back to the White House. It was a remarkable political rebound, but one that owed as much to the Democratic Party’s weakness as it did to Trump’s strengths.
Despite heavily outspending ([link removed]) her opponent, Vice President Kamala Harris ([link removed]) carried not one battleground state in failing to reassemble the solid anti-Trump majority of four years ago. She also lagged behind Joe Biden’s ([link removed]) 2020 performance with key Democratic-leaning groups: young voters, Hispanics, Blacks and even women.
The demographic and geographic sweep of Trump’s victory is impressive. He made inroads among urban and suburban voters, independents, young men and non-white working-class voters. The U.S. political map is getting redder.

Upcoming PPI Event
[link removed]
The dust hasn't fully settled on the 2024 election yet, but after a disheartening and disappointing performance, it's important to begin analyzing where things went wrong and what Democrats need to do next. That's why PPI is hosting a post-election event to discuss what message voters delivered in this sobering election and its implications for party leaders as they look ahead.
Join us for the release of a new PPI/YouGov post-election poll of swing state working-class voters and to hear key takeaways from political leaders, campaign strategists, and policy experts. The conversation will center around the lessons we learned and how the center-left can best position itself for future elections and will feature remarks from Rep. Marie Gluesenkamp Perez.
