Democrats are reconsideration of ways to re -achieve voters that they have lost to President Trump in recent election cycles, and they can be offered an important lesson in New York Mayorl Primary.
In various post-mortem and focus groups performed on its disastrous 2024 election loss heels, Democrats in their party’s appeal has completely investigated the elections and voter demographics that have been fully examined in search of gaps.
But Democratic Strategist Chak Rocha, who served as a senior advisor on the President of the Sen Burney Sanders (I-VT) in 2020, said that the Democrats are moving by analyzing the voters who abandoned the voters or voting during the last election.
“It’s more simple than that,” Rocha said. “Just focus on those who are disappointed as hell and get both.”
Rocha pointed to the New York Mayorl Race as evidence. He says Able to catch voters – including those who did not vote in the presidential election a few months ago – by talking about strength and other tangible economic issues who appealed to them.
Rocha said that voters “want anything that is different” when it comes to the cost of life from the status quo.
“It shows how desperate people are,” he said.
While many democrats Disagree with Mamdani politicsHe says that the campaign he launched shows the unbreakable predecessor of economic issues. And Trump taught the same lesson in 2024, political observers say what they wanted to hear on their message by telling voters on the economy and “drought to the swamp”.
Democratic Strategist Christie Setter said, “Donald Trump and Zoharan Mamdani have just shown in very different elections, that economic issues are still king -and that you can appeal to a wide, bipartished self of voters saying that you will reduce the cost of living.” “Working-class voters have been moving away from the Democratic Party on long-so-called ‘cultural’ issues, but they are still a clear message through a clear message and a compelling messenger.”
According to exit polls, in 2024 Democrats lost significant base with middle class voters, a foundation stone of their traditional basis, below 2020 below 20 percent points. At the same time, there is a slight optimism about the strong party leadership and little optimism, the concerned CNN/SSR and AP/NORC voting about the party’s future.
But a self-proclaimed democratic socialist mammadani targeted the Democratic establishment, called for a drought to make a place for change. This was a resonance of Trump’s message in his 2024 campaign.
“Donald Trump was successful because … he was not afraid of being against people in his party and other parties and excluding people,” Susan del Persians, a long -standing New York -based Republican strategist who does not support Trump. “Mamdani was exactly the same. He was calling everyone, and then when you meet to work without any fear.”
Mamandi deviated from the Democratic establishment with a clear message of power and topped a crowd and competitive primary. Former New York Government.
But the voters of New York City are quite different from the rest of the country, political observers say do not pay attention to a person like Mamdani, who cannot appeal to the moderate and the centralists.
“Being a self-declared Democratic Socialist … does not play in swing districts. It plays in the primary of New York City,” said Dell Persians. “Democratic candidates have to look more like Elisa Slotin, who are talking about the cost of life, as they talk about the cost of life to Mamdani.”
Finding that they need to appeal to the middle class more, the Democrats across the country have started making further plans and back laws to re -acquire the lost ground.
Sen Elisa Slotin (D-Miche.) Recently surfaced with her “Economic War Plan”, whose goals have said, to re-connect the Democratic party with the middle class.
At the same time, the village signed a bill this week by the village Gavin Newsom (D-Calif), which overhalas the environmental protection laws of California to speed up the construction of a very essential housing in the state. In the name of bringing down the cost of living, Newsom’s move goes against a history of California, which defends the state’s environmental protection laws unconditionally.
But the New York race gave some Democrats an injection of hope that his party started changing things after the loss of crushing last year.
“We now have evidence, and the evidence is the race of NYC Mayor,” Rocha said. Mamdani won “The same anterior to New York City where Donald Trump Overforced in general election,” he explained.
Democratic strategist Jamal Simmons said that not every voter is Getable, “there are many of them,” and he said that there are some people supporting Trump who found Trump’s message more compelling than the Democratic ticket in the 2024 race.
“Voters are not captive to any political party,” said Simmons. “They have an agency. They meet to make their choice, and if politicians are not talking to them, they will see elsewhere.”
