A Wake-Up Call For Democrats | The Latino Vote Episode 63
The 2024 election left many political insiders grappling with Trump's unexpected gains across the board, while also unfairly blaming Latino voters. In this post-election debrief, Chuck and Mike pull back the curtain on what went wrong for Democrats and how they've lost touch with blue-collar America. They tackle hard truths about shifting Latino allegiances, explain why economic messaging fell flat, and discuss why many working-class voters feel abandoned by the party. With a sharp focus on affordability, economic frustration, and the future of the Democratic Party, Chuck shares a personal story of his political journey and how the party must return to its roots: Fighting for Working-class Families. Mike emphasizes the urgency of addressing these issues before the 2028 election, warning that if Democrats don't act now, they could see even larger shifts to the right.
