The Washington Examiner’s Kaylee McGhee White argued that the biggest problem the Democratic Party faces after the 2024 election is addressing its reputation, suggesting the party no longer represents the working class.

Following Vice President Kamala Harris’s loss to President-elect Donald Trump in the election, Harris is contemplating her next steps in her political career, which could include a 2026 California gubernatorial run or a 2028 presidential run. White, a Restoring America editor for the Washington Examiner, suggested the Democratic Party needs to recognize that it is now “the party of the rich, educated, and elite.”
