Sen. Michael Bennet Criticizes Democratic Party's Disconnect From Working-Class Americans

Bennet calls for a renewed focus on economic inequality, proposes a bold agenda, and considers a gubernatorial run to address the party's challenges.

Sen. Michael Bennet described the Democratic Party's brand as 'problematic,' associating it with elites rather than working-class Americans.
Bennet emphasized the need for the party to realign with working- and middle-class voters, addressing decades of economic inequality.
He agreed with Gov. Gavin Newsom's characterization of the Democratic brand as 'toxic,' citing its loss of connection with everyday Americans.
Bennet criticized Donald Trump's economic policies, arguing they favor the wealthy and harm working Americans, and urged Democrats to present a compelling alternative.
The senator confirmed he is considering a run for governor of Colorado to better advocate for working-class issues and help reinvent the Democratic Party.
