Michael Bennet Criticizes Democratic Party’s Disconnect From Working-Class Voters

The Colorado senator calls for a bold, imaginative agenda to address economic inequality, healthcare, and education, urging the party to rebuild trust with working Americans.

Senator Michael Bennet described the Democratic Party's brand as 'problematic,' associating it with coastal elites and distancing it from working-class Americans.
Bennet agreed with California Governor Gavin Newsom's assessment that the party's image is toxic, citing its failure to connect with voters outside of New York and California.
He criticized the party's inability to present a compelling vision, which he believes contributed to Donald Trump’s two election victories.
Bennet called for the Democrats to craft a creative and forward-thinking agenda addressing economic inequality, universal healthcare, and education reform.
The senator emphasized the need for the party to regain trust by focusing on policies that improve the lives of working and middle-class Americans.
