Gavin Newsom is going to try to realign the Democratic Party in 2028 to reach out to the Middle Class. Assuming Trump is able to win this time.
Trump has not attracted those minorities by supporting some policy or other that they are focused on.
He has attracted them via populism.
THIS IS NOT AN ELECTION ABOUT POLICY. No one has an answer for inflation. There is no answer. Immigration? Yes, he has an answer, but is that answer what has pried 10% of Black voters to him?
No.
It’s about his Drain the Swamp focus, and the Swamp is both parties. It is about crushing elites and political careerists. Rejection of the college degree being somehow definitive of anything (excluding medicine or STEM). All those degrees in sociology that led to gov’t jobs counseling people about whatever . . . that crap is being voted against.
That is where the black male vote is coming from. The guys who resurface roads. Who install new storm drains in neighborhoods. Fix the plumbing. DRIVE TRUCKS.
They don’t care one whit about tax and spend policy. They want an end to elitism.
