Jen Psaki Lays Out How Dems Can 'Rethink' Strategy In Blunt Post-Election Analysis
HuffPost
The MSNBC host advised viewers not to "fall into the trap of believing things can't get better."
MSNBC host Jen Psaki on Sunday called on Democrats to go back to the drawing board and “learn a lot” more about their base after Kamala Harris’ election loss to President-elect Donald Trump.
Psaki, a former White House press secretary under President Joe Biden, described Trump as a “major threat to our democracy” but noted that it might’ve been the “wrong closing message to choose with the wrong people.”
She cautioned that Harris’ message didn’t necessarily fail to connect because “fascism doesn’t matter,” or because “everyone who didn’t vote for Harris is to blame for not hearing or understanding the threat” of Trump.
“It’s for candidates to rethink how they prioritize what they talk about moving forward. It’s to rethink how they engage moving forward. Do that Joe Rogan podcast, by the way,” said Psaki, referring to Harris not appearing on Rogan’s show.
“Part of the answer is to stop diagnosing and to start listening.”
