Democrats need to hone their messaging on “full-throated economic populist ideas” as the party looks to regain ground in the 2026 midterms, Sen. Elizabeth Warren said Monday. And she suggests the party take a page out of President Donald Trump’s playbook to do that.
“Donald Trump said every single day that he would lower costs for American families. He said it over and over and over, and people believed him. He said in his very first interview after he was elected, the reason he got elected was because he offered to lower costs on the first day. Democrats need to read the room,” Warren told reporters. “That’s what the American people want.”
The job for Democrats, Warren said, is to hold Trump accountable and to put out the party’s own proposals to lower costs.
