Ro Khanna, D-Calif., among the few Democrats with presidential ambitions to address the party\u2019s future on Wednesday. \u201cThere needs to be new thinking, new ideas and a new direction. And, you know, the establishment produced a disaster.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>With votes still being counted, Trump was on track to become the first Republican in two decades to win the popular vote, although the scope of his Electoral College victory was likely to fall short of President Barack Obama\u2019s 2008 performance in which he won 365 electoral votes.<\/p>\n<p>Trump picked up a small but significant share of younger voters, Black voters and Hispanic voters, many of whom were feeling down about the economy, according to AP VoteCast, a sweeping survey of more than 120,000 voters nationwide. The Republican president-elect also made progress among voters without a college degree.<\/p>\n<p>Most of the elected Democrats who are most often mentioned as 2028 presidential prospects \u2014 including the governors of California, Illinois, Michigan and Pennsylvania \u2014 declined to weigh in when asked. Others canceled scheduled interviews. <\/p>\n<p>The few progressives willing to speak publicly offered different explanations. Relatively few were blaming President Joe Biden for backtracking on his promise not to run for reelection, which blocked the party from picking a replacement in a traditional primary.<\/p>\n<p>Sen.

He issued a statement excoriating party leadership.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt should come as no great surprise that a Democratic Party which has abandoned working class people would find that the working class has abandoned them,\u201d he said. \u201cFirst, it was the white working class, and now it is Latino and Black workers as well. While the Democratic leadership defends the status quo, the American people are angry and want change. And they\u2019re right.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Others weren\u2019t so eager to make wholesale changes.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOur challenge is not to overreact to this election,\u201d said Rep. Don Beyer, D-Va., who easily won reelection Tuesday night. \u201cWe had a candidate with a relatively low profile \u2014 no one knew much about Kamala Harris &#8230; who took on one of the best-known people in the history of mankind.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Just eight years ago, Democrats were stunned by Trump\u2019s shocking victory over Hillary Clinton. But at that time, many were united in blaming the loss on dysfunction within the Democratic National Committee. Others blamed Russian influence efforts supporting Trump or FBI Director James Comey\u2019s statement excoriating Clinton\u2019s handling of classified information in her emails while serving as secretary of state. <\/p>\n<p>There are no excuses this time.

Shri Thanedar, whose district contains much of Detroit. \u201cDemocrats focused on Trump\u2019s character. His legal problems, being a felon. But for the large part, the people who are economically suffering, who feel that they are worse off economically, did not pay much attention to his character.<\/p>\n<p>Others were less diplomatic.<\/p>\n<p>Alexandra Rojas, executive director of the far-left Justice Democrats, said that the party\u2019s leadership must \u201ctake responsibility for how a second Donald Trump presidency became possible again under their watch.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Democratic Party is rapidly losing its legitimacy amongst the everyday people and marginalized communities continuously used as stepping stones to win elections,\u201d Rojas charged, even as she acknowledged \u201cthere are no easy answers for where we as a country and movement go from here.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Indeed, the data suggests that Democrats have serious work to do. <\/p>\n<p>Biden drew about even with Trump among voters without a college degree four years ago, earning 47% of their vote compared to Trump\u2019s 51%. But voters without a college degree inched toward Trump in 2024, giving him a clear advantage with 55% of their vote. Fewer \u2014 43% \u2014 backed Harris.<\/p>\n<p>The modest movement of those without a college degree was pronounced among younger voters, with Trump earning 52% now compared with 44% four years ago, and among nonwhite voters, 32% vs. 25%.<\/p>\n<p>Overall, about half of voters under age 30 supported Harris. That\u2019s compared to the roughly 6 in 10 who backed Biden in 2020. At the same time, Black and Latino voters appeared slightly less likely to support Harris than they were to back Biden four years ago, VoteCast found.<\/p>\n<p>Jef Pollock, a veteran Democratic pollster, said the Harris campaign \u201cwas dealt a bad hand given the international rebuke of incumbent parties all over the world as voter frustrations over the economy have boiled over.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>\u201cBut Democrats have to look internally and ask ourselves what can we do to rebuild our relationship with rural, working class, and Latino voters as well as young men,\u201d Pollock said. \u201cClearly they believe we are not addressing their every day needs.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>On Wednesday evening, the pro-Democratic super PAC Priorities USA announced plans to conduct an analysis with political allies \u201cto better understand why and how we lost, and, more importantly, how we move forward,\u201d according to the organization\u2019s executive director Danielle Butterfield.<\/p>\n<p>The effort, she said, would be \u201cgrounded in humility.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s unclear whether the analysis might lead to specific recommendations, but there is a precedent. <\/p>\n<p>After the 2012 election, the Republican National Committee famously commission an internal \u201cgrowth and opportunity\u201d report to chart a path forward. But even then, the GOP found electoral success only after Trump ignored the report\u2019s recommendations to strengthen the party\u2019s infrastructure and adopt a more welcoming and inclusive message.<\/p>\n<p>After the 2016 election, Democrats also made changes to their party infrastructure and fundraising after a period of introspection as well. <\/p>\n<p>Sanders, who nearly won the Democrats\u2019 presidential nomination in 2020, was not optimistic about the party\u2019s future.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWill the big money interests and well-paid consultants who control the Democratic Party learn any real lessons from this disastrous campaign?\u201d he said. \u201cWill they understand the pain and political alienation that tens of millions of Americans are experiencing? Do they have any ideas as to how we can take on the increasingly powerful oligarchy which has so much economic and political power? Probably not.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2>___<\/h2>\n<p>Cappelletti reported from Detroit.
