(DCNF)—Former President Bill Clinton adviser Doug Schoen warned Thursday that Democrats risk becoming “a permanent minority party.”
President-elect Donald Trump won the popular vote and the Electoral College in the 2024 election, while Republicans secured Senate majority and maintained control of the House of Representatives. Schoen, on “The Faulkner Focus,” argued Republicans could retain dominance perpetually if Democrats fail to “learn from this election,” adding that they have yet to do so.
“My party is out of touch. We’re an elite party. We believe that rock stars and political elites decide. What Trump did was connect with ordinary people on issues they care about,” Schoen said. “Inflation, cost of living, the border. Real issues that people care about. That’s the issue.”
Host Harris Faulkner asked Schoen if he is “worried about” the Democratic party.
“Yes. I’m worried that we will be a permanent minority party unless we learn from this election,” Schoen answered. “And so far, no learning has been done.”
“Wow. That is tough. And you’ve been around a long time and watched a lot of change,” Faulkner responded.
Trump defeated Vice President Kamala Harris with 312 electoral votes, securing nearly 77 million votes and just under 50% of the total, according to the Cook Political Report. His victory was bolstered by support from Hispanic men and rural voters, among other demographics.
CNN senior data reporter Harry Enten warned in September about how strongly Trump was performing with “working class voters” that typically voted for Democrats.
“Republicans, specifically Donald Trump, [are] doing very, very well among working class voters, whether they were in unions, whether they went to trade school or whether they’re voters of color,” Enten said. “The fact is Donald Trump seems to have gone into a hotbed of traditional Democratic support and made a lot of movement in ways I don’t think a lot of people would have thought when he went down that escalator just back in 2015.”
