MSNBC’s Rev. Al Sharpton said Monday that Democrats are having a hard time “connecting” and that former President Donald Trump and abortion were the only reasons they were “in the game.”
“The question is are Democrats doing what it makes to keep those who have loyally voted Republican, are Democratic voting Democratic because right now, you have people of color breaking away from the Democratic Party and you have white college educated suburban voters breaking away from Republicans, so it’s creating a real flux,” “Morning Joe” host Joe Scarborough said.
Sharpton said the concern among the Congressional Black Caucus was about how they’re connecting the “base to the message.”
“The Democratic Party and President Biden does have some things they could be using that they’ve done that has benefited clearly Black and Latinos, but it’s not connecting. So you’re seeing this as the polls indicate, Latinos and Black men go the other way because they’re not getting their message to the ground in the way they should,” Sharpton said.
