Dems who outran Harris in battleground states urge party to focus on ‘kitchen-table issues’

Democrats in battleground states are urging the party to focus on “kitchen-table issues” such as the economy and jobs. They believe that Democrats did not connect with Americans on these issues in the last election and need to do a better job of understanding and addressing the concerns of working-class voters. They also acknowledge that Trump’s Cabinet picks offer Democrats an opportunity to highlight their differences and show their commitment to addressing these issues. However, they also stress the importance of not abandoning their core beliefs and values while doing so.
