In the aftermath of Donald Trump's second White House win, frustrated swing-district House Democrats are speaking out about their long-standing warnings regarding the party's risk of losing working-class voters. These concerns, they say, were largely related to GOP attacks on the border.
Representative Henry Cuellar, a South Texas Democrat, highlighted the party's struggle to connect with working-class voters, particularly on issues such as immigration and the economy. Cuellar, who outperformed Vice President Kamala Harris by double digits in key parts of his district, emphasized the urgent need for the party to address these concerns.
