President Donald Trump’s victory says the party needs to work to regain voter confidence in a new report.
“Joe Biden is leaving as a very unpopular Democratic president, we lost the popular vote and people are angry with us on inflation, culture and the border,” said Democratic strategist and former Harris staffer Mike Nellis. told Politico. “We have to change our tactics because we have to regain people’s trust.”
During Trump’s first term, Democrats focused their opposition to Trump through a “resistance” movement that relied heavily on constant media appearances by Nancy Pelosi, Chuck Schumer and other party leaders to attack Republicans. Tilted, some say, Democrats need to change tactics.

“The path to significance is not in the headlines of endless resistance,” an adviser to the potential 2028 presidential candidate told Politico.
Democrats are “being measured more because people are just so tired, so there’s no energy to stay at 11 for the next four years,” Sen. Mallory McMoore, D-Michigan, told the outlet. “My advice is, call it, be blunt, but don’t panic about it.”
Other Democrats said there is a leadership void within the party that presents difficulties but also opportunities for those willing to take on the “mantle” of responsibility, one party operative told POLITICO.

Faiz Shakir, a progressive political strategist, said, “People are still struggling with the framework of how you challenge Donald Trump for failing to deliver people to work, but the framework is still there. Now, it’s up for auction.” “But it might be uncomfortable language for Democrats, who haven’t talked like this in a long time, to talk about the ruling elite.”
Another Democratic strategist told Politico that some party leaders are being overly cautious after Trump’s defeat.
“If you’re thinking about running for president in 2027, I understand why your advisers are saying, put your head down and pick your spots,” the adviser said. “No one wants to hang their heads just yet, but they’re also increasingly learning their lessons from 2017 and 2018, worrying about whether the resistance efforts ultimately helped the candidates—or not—when they go into 2019. I was running for president.”
