As the Democratic Party continues to grapple with former Vice president Kamala Harris' loss to President Trump, some leaders in the party think they should focus on their economic messaging and creating a coherent message to respond to the president.
"We have no coherent message," Rep. Jasmine Crockett, D-Texas, told The New York Times on Sunday. "This guy is psychotic, and there’s so much, but everything that underlines it is white supremacy and hate. There needs to be a message that is clear on at least the underlying thing that comes with all of this."
The DNC elected Minnesota party leader Ken Martin on Saturday, who said during his victory speech they needed to "to rebuild our coalition."
"The policies that we support and the message that we have is not wrong," Martin told the NYT. "It is a messaging problem and a brand problem. Those voters are not connecting our policies with their lives."
Sen. Amy Klobuchar, D-Minn., said the messaging should focus on the economy.
"There are people in the middle — and trust me, there’s a lot of them — that wanted costs to go down," Klobuchar said. "Instead, what they see is chaos going up, corruption going up with the firing of the inspector generals, and guess what else is going up? Egg prices."
Rep. Josh Gottheimer, D-N.J., said Democrats needed to focus their message on lowering costs.
"Within the party, we need to make sure we have a very clear direction to go," he said. "We need to have our own ideas. We’ll never win again if we are just playing defense."
The New York Times reported that former President Obama compared this to when the Democratic Party had lost Congress and the presidency in 2005.

Wasn’t that their entire 2024 platform?
They have a coherent message:
ABORTION FOREVER, TRANNIES IN YOUR KIDS SCHOOLS AND YOUR MILITARY, NO OIL, NO GASOLINE, NO DIESEL, NO NATURAL GAS, NO NUCLEAR POWER, NO GUNS ANYWHERE ANYTIME BY ANYBODY (Except them, of course), NO FREE SPEECH, VAXXES AD INFINITUM...
People just didn’t like it!...............
I thought her campaign slogan was “joy”. With a 94% turnover in staff members, they just couldn’t handle so much of her joy.
I’d put Hogg out front to get the youth vote and suburban women or something like that. They should use Hogg almost exclusively. /sarc
Defund the police, no person is illegal, you are at the wrong rally...
It's a party of mentally ill deviants who embrace Pfascism, Communism, Democrat Socialism, and all their other sick isms, like their recently elected vice chair of the party, that twink David Hogg.
Jungle primaries baby, you got this!
Well looking at who they just elected to run the party the answer is Democrats do not believe they are left wing rabid nuts enough yet
If they want to develop a coherent message, they will probably want to keep Crockett out of the process. What she said sounds like the old incoherent message.
Right now their message is clear, The Democrat Party motto is “Death to America.”
