What The Democrats Got Wrong in the 2024 Election

Chris Cuomo analyzes the Democrats’ poor performance in the recent election, breaking down the lessons they must learn to regain their footing. Cuomo explores why focusing on cultural issues over economic concerns hurt their chances, the impact of identity politics on voter perception, and how Trump’s coalition capitalized on grievances. He challenges Democrats to reconnect with working-class voters, address economic pain, and avoid alienating the majority by overemphasizing niche issues.

Are identity politics helping or hurting the Democratic Party?

[johnnyboy]

Instead of berating cancelling and telling the working class they are wrong for how they think and what their values are, maybe listen to them. That is the lesson.

[victorbernard]

Chris your apology on getting the LGTB+ name wrong is part of the problem for the Dems.

I’m a center left guy who votes Democratic. I’m also second gen Filipino American, and I really dislike the way Democrats oversimplify and assume that minorities like me are always behind whatever the Democrats feel obligated to support. Filipino Americans (like Mexican Americans and many other Latino groups) are overwhelmingly Catholic, have incredibly strong family and community values, and are completely overrepresented in the military, among other features. So many people in my community loathe Trump but many others have fallen out with the Democrats because of what we perceive as a demonization of so many of the things we value. The Democrats’ messaging and policy needs to change and stop treating minorities like children who should be told what to think.

I always see the hate in the comments, but the truth is that you are 100% correct. As a former Democrat turned Independent this is exactly why most people voted for Trump. Until the Democrats figure this out the hate in the comments will continue. Half the US is in a state of panic jumping to conclusions when nothing has even happened, all because they've been trained to be scared by their own party and don't see it yet. FYI im a gay man, if you can't define a woman, we have issues.

It is interesting to me how blind many Democrats are as to why they lost. The same issue that caused them to lose is the same reason they can't comprehend why they lost.

[aliyunumbers]

You’ve said it all. Mob mentality. Cancel culture. Woke bullying. "It’s the economy silly!"

[brendahull]

As a registered Independent, your comments were 💯 correct. Both parties are failing miserably.

I think the single thing that surprised America is the lack of ethics that prevails in elected officials and the significant amount of misinformation. Those we elect no longer have an attitude of service to those who pay their salaries.

[drewkhandi]

I think like was once said, the best way to get the democrats to change is to not vote for them

[PhilMachi]

Chris, thank you for having such a pragmatic viewpoint and sharing that with a country that is truly hurting. To everyone who watches Chris and gets frustrated with him: I would suggest listening with an intent to understand and not just hearing someone in opposition to your established ideas. We should be challenging the status quo, and it really is a good idea to assume positive intentions instead of knee-jerk demonizing.

[joanfrisinabowles]

I'm a New Yorker.. (now living in Maine).. but YOUR Dad Mario Cuomo was a good man ... and a caring human being. Your Dad was WISE.

[Jm-Gonz]

Chris. What no one really understands yet, is that this election has now given permission for Hispanics and African Americans to vote for republicans . If the the ground level economics for working families improves over the next 4 years, then this will result in structural changes in politics

[AquaNikki]

The only people that will be attracted to Chris professionally now are people who aren't extremists.

[pureland]

2016 my co worker told me not to vote for Trump because he would deported me back to Vietnam. It's so absurd. I'm U.S citizen.

[olufunmiakadiri]

The race was not tight at all. Trump won 32 states out of 50. KamalaHarris won 18 states. Trump won all the 7 swing states, the electoral college, the popular vote, the Senate & the House. 😂😂😂😂

[michaelh]

Because they had a “cackling idiot” that was “selected” not “elected”.

[GaryHudsonsMusic]

I'm a liberal who voted for Harris and YOU ARE ABSOLUTELY CORRECT.

[nourishday]

Al Sharpton got 350k from Harris’s Campaign. Wt hell for??

[petroskatsilieris]

This is your best podcast ever Chris Cuomo. And it's not even close. You knocked it out of the park man. MUST-listen stuff. For everyone, but especially Progressives and Democrats
