Some Democrats admit their party is 'out of touch' and must examine what went wrong in Vice President Kamala Harris' loss to President-elect Trump.

It’s a funny thing. When you listen to voters, they will tell you what they think. I have spent the last two years talking to voters about the election, the candidates, the messages, the attacks, and more. And based on everything I learned, I’m not surprised that Donald Trump clinched the presidency. The outcome of Tuesday's election followed a predictable pattern, one that was clear to those of us who were willing to take a hard look at the signs.

From the outset, the writing was on the wall. Record-low satisfaction with the country’s direction, coupled with persistent issues like inflation and a struggling economy, painted a stark picture of discontent. Yet, the Biden-Harris administration spent much of their time spinning a different narrative—one that painted a rosy picture of a thriving nation. They pointed to academics and elites to validate how great things were, all while dismissing the kitchen-table concerns that most Americans faced day in and day out.

Anyone who dared question them—who believed things might have been better just four years ago—was labeled as a uneducated or ill-informed. If they dared to align themselves with Trump they would be called racist, misogynist, fascist, or, worse, a Nazi. That’s a hard sell to a frustrated electorate.
