How Democrats Can Win Big (w/ Thomas Edsall)
About this episode
Thomas Edsall discusses how Democrats can regain support by moderating on key issues to attract working-class voters.
Thomas Edsall tells Mona Charen Democrats can recover from Trump's bad ratings by moderating on three fronts: transgender policy (affirm two sexes, restrict sports/prisons/youth surgery), immigration (pro-legal, pro-enforcement), and crime (oppose lenient DAs and no-bail policies). His diagnosis: the party's become too elitist and needs working-class voters back to beat MAGA. If the Democrats Actually Want to Win, This Is What They Have to Do
