Lee Fang: Will Democrats Ever Recover From 2024?
Subscribe to the new Just Asking Questions Youtube channel here!
Donald Trump won the presidential election decisively, taking every single battleground state, and as we discussed last week with Patrick Ruffini, winning over new voters across all sorts of racial, age, and gender demographics. He’s, once again, remade the electoral map, with Republicans capturing the Senate and the House.
What should Democrats learn from this loss? Lee Fang is an independent journalist and political commentator who runs a Substack at leefang.com. One of his most recent posts comments on the complete lack of self-reflection coming from many of the highly paid Democratic consultants who seem to have whiffed so badly with the Harris campaign messaging.
