Democrats should adopt economic populist policies to improve their electoral performance, as evidenced by past party successes.

“If you go back to FDR and the New Deal, which was up until relatively recently the fundamental building block of the Democratic Party. I mean, the New Deal cemented Democratic control of the House of Representatives for 60 years.”

The primary lesson for Democrats from the recent elections is that candidates must focus on the issue of economic affordability.

“But also Mum Donnie picked the right message which was affordability and battling the billionaire class as the problem and he hammered it on corruption and the cost of living and like that that discipline I do think is a lesson that can be applied to like every election.”

The Democratic party should rely on young candidates who can communicate effectively and connect with voters through digital channels.

“It really is good to pick young candidates who understand the digital age and who can communicate and connect who are good messengers and good speakers.”
