The Washington Examiner’s Joe Concha said the Democratic Party will continue struggling to win back voters if it keeps “speaking down” instead of talking to them directly, specifically in swing states.

Concha recalled when Democrats criticized a joke comedian Tony Hinchcliffe made at President Donald Trump‘s Madison Square Garden rally in October, noting how some outlets reported it as “the joke that turns the whole election for Kamala Harris.” Concha rebuffed the idea, arguing outlets ignored other factors, such as inflation or “open borders.”
