Surveys show that Americans think more negatively about the Democratic Party than the Republican Party and perceive GOP as more synchronized with the mood of the country. The recent Quinnipiac survey found 57% unfavorable rating for democratsThe highest survey she has registered for the party since 2008. The party tried to respond to the flood of brave and disordered actions taken by Trump during the first two weeks of office.
Kenyatta, who represents Northern Philadelphia, plays the role after losing the offer for the general auditor this fall.
“There are people who wrote obituaries about the Democratic Party, but I think that what you saw in the National Harbor was not a funeral, it was a revival,” said Kenyatta about the party meeting.
Martin, the incoming chairman, promised a more targeted overthrow for Trump’s administration and His actions, but they refused to discuss specific actions that the party will take until there is an overview of the proximity.
Kenyatta said that the leadership committee would be three times: focusing on local elections, including in the upcoming special elections in Pittsburgh; Combine politics with people, sharing the personal stories of people affected by the administration of President Donald Trump; And develop the party.
Democrats are the most successful when they can show how republican actions affect Americans, said Kenyatta, paying attention to the noticeable effects when Trump last week froze funding the federal subsidy and public programs were threatened before the contract was canceled after the Caos Day.
“I will not spend the next four years – years apologizing for being a democrat or silently accepting the future of this party as not pretended to fight at the moment,” said Kenyatta.
But Kenyatta also said that the party’s response to Trump must look different than eight years ago. “Resistance 1.0 was based on Donald Trump, his tweets 2 am, his personality defects,” said Kenyatta. “At the moment people are talking about themselves, their families, their loved ones. This event will talk about people and how we improve life for people. “
