YouTube Description
as posted by the channel“The weakness for the Democratic Party is not that they are perceived to be extremist or elitist, it's that they're perceived to be weak… not standing up for their coalition, not being effective in government. And honestly, that's a harder problem to solve.”
In this Substack Live conversation, Zeteo contributor John Harwood sits down with independent pollster G. Elliot Morris to break down the Democrat's centrist strategy and how the move can hurt the party in the long run.
Despite Democrats’ struggle to rally voters around a centrist agenda, some party leaders continue to argue that appealing to the middle-man is the path back to power.
Morris emphasizes the fact there are no ‘median voters’ — only those with mixed views who pay little attention. Harwood and Morris also dive into Trump’s illegal war in Iran and whether or not there is a chance that Republicans will lose both chambers of Congress in the 2026 midterm elections.
