In our first post-election episode, I’m joined by Patrick Ruffini, a co-founder of Echelon Insights and the author of Party of the People: Inside the Multiracial Populist Coalition Remaking the GOP. We dive right into last week’s results, starting with how and why non-white voters shifted so much towards Trump. We cover the “cosmopolitan trap” that Democrats have fallen into—focusing solely on issues that motivate white voters with a college degree—and why the Harris campaign over-indexed on abortion and democracy.
Will Democrats finally have a “Sister Souljah” moment? Who might emerge as the face of a changed Democratic Party? What can the Trump administration focus on to improve the GOP’s standing with their new voters?
