Election Outcomes and Democratic Challenges

This chapter explores the narrow victory of a Republican candidate in recent elections, leading to significant implications for the Democratic Party's strategy and voter engagement. It examines the challenges faced by Democrats in re-establishing their connection with working-class voters and the necessity for bold leadership on pressing issues like economic security and civic disorder.
