The process of passing the bill has started among the Democrats, who are facing a triple challenge after Trump’s defeat.

Washington.- They are still shocked after the crushing electoral defeat against Donald Trump and the Republicans in the presidential election. Democrats continue their duel by apportioning blameBut his mind is also focused on the future and a triple problem he must solve from the ground up: Rebuild your electoral alliance, find a new leader and a new message.

The post-mortem of the Democrats’ defeat began as soon as the election results were known, and it pointed first and foremost to the President, Joe BidenWho have been accused of taking too long to stake their candidature, basically tying the party’s hands to find an alternative.

But the causes raised by Democrats go beyond Biden. These were the people who attacked Kamala Harris’ campaign, A waste of resources and a lack of clear messaging for the economy, or a more forceful break with the Biden government. And the so-called “identity politics” that the party adopted amid the attack against “woke” culture was also in the news.

Behind all these explanations appears to be the same problem: how the Democratic Party, Which has been the party of workers, middle class and minorities in the modern era,

They started building their future after losing everything – including a portion of their voters and their identity – at the hands of Trump.

“The billionaire with the golden toilet, who promises tax cuts to his billionaire donors, is building a multiracial working-class coalition,” summarized Dan Pfeiffer, who worked for Gov. Barack Obama As communications director. “If Democrats don’t reverse these trends, it will be a checkmate in presidential elections for years to come,” he said.

Pfeiffer is one of the stars of the podcast, Pod Save AmericaWhich created an environment of Democratic internal race and political confrontation between the Obama universe and Biden during the campaign. Amid a fierce attack that ended with Biden’s departure, the presidential campaign at the time took direct aim at the podcast to set the tone of the narrative against the president.

Now Obama’s man was the first to present the first reading of the results. Jon Favreau, host of the same podcast, directly accused Biden. “Joe Biden’s decision to run for president again was a catastrophic mistake,” Favreau said this week.

Nancy Pelosi, who led the “coup” against Biden behind the scenes, has also now hit out at the president, saying, If it had been reduced earlier, the party could have held an open primary with other candidates. Pelosi herself heavily endorsed Harris at the time, and when asked by LA NACION during the Democratic convention in Chicago, said that her promotion allows for a better campaign with more resources and volunteers.

“And like I say, Kamala could have done it, I think she would have done well in it and would have been stronger in the future. But we don’t know. It did not happen. We are living with what happened. And because the president immediately endorsed Kamala Harris, that made it really almost impossible to have a primary at that time. If it had happened much earlier it would have been different

Pelosi said.

In the face of blame and condemnation, Biden confirmed his decision, and his team quickly reminded that the president will go down in history as the only Democrat to defeat Trump.

Beyond blame and condemnation, the Democratic Party will begin looking for a new message and leader to rebuild its coalition of voters. Like Biden, Harris is also going out, And although there were those who praised his campaign and said that he did all he could in the only 107 days he had, The truth is that some of the burden of the defeat against Trump is on him and his political future seems to be zero.

Democrats have a league of governors -Gavin Newsom, from California, Gretchen Whitmer, from Michigan, Andy Beshear, from Kentucky, Josh Shapiro, from Pennsylvania, or Josh Stein, from North Carolina- Who appears to be first in the line of succession to lead the party.

And the Biden government has left behind a raft of officials who are certain to vie for the leadership of the party. Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg, who was already seeking the presidency in 2020; Commerce Secretary, Gina Raimondo, who was governor of Rhode Island, or Energy Secretary, Jennifer Granholm, who was governor of Michigan.

Any of them would have to contend with two problems: Recapture the support that Democrats had among workers without college degrees and among minorities, especially Latinos, who shifted particularly toward Trump in this election. Second: Find a new message. democrat He bet this year on inclusion, “values ​​and character”, protecting the right to abortion and democracy. In Obama’s words during the campaign, “But voters were thinking about the economy.

“Democrats need to stop pandering to the far left.”Urged Congressman Tom Suozzi, Democrat of New York, who managed to save his seat by receiving more votes in his district than Harris. “I don’t want to discriminate against anyone, but I don’t think biological boys should be able to play girls’ sports,” he said.

The political realignment left by the election left the Democrats in a new camp: Educated elite people with whom they rub shoulders celebrities And in the end they seem detached from the problems of ordinary Americans, of peopleExactly the same voters that the Democrats claim to protect and defend.

Democratic strategist Julie Rosinski said on CNN that the blame for the defeat does not lie on Biden, Kamala Harris or Barack Obama. The entire party was responsible for not knowing how to talk to voters. “We are not a party of common sense, that is the message the voters have sent us,” he said.
