‘No Learning Has Been Done’: Former Clinton Adviser ‘Worried’ Dems ‘Will Be A Permanent Minority Party’

Former President Bill Clinton adviser Doug Schoen warned Thursday that Democrats risk becoming “a permanent minority party.”

President-elect Donald Trump won the popular vote and the Electoral College in the 2024 election, while Republicans secured Senate majority and maintained control of the House of Representatives. Schoen, on “The Faulkner Focus,” argued Republicans could retain dominance perpetually if Democrats fail to “learn from this election,” adding that they have yet to do so.

“My party is out of touch. We’re an elite party. We believe that rock stars and political elites decide. What Trump did was connect with ordinary people on issues they care about,” Schoen said. “Inflation, cost of living, the border. Real issues that people care about. That’s the issue.”

Host Harris Faulkner asked Schoen if he is “worried about” the Democratic party.

“Yes. I’m worried that we will be a permanent minority party unless we learn from this election,” Schoen answered. “And so far, no learning has been done.”

“Wow. That is tough. And you’ve been around a long time and watched a lot of change,” Faulkner responded.
