Political Analyst Warns Of Dems’ ‘Big F*cking Problem’ Looming Over Next Election Cycle

NBC News political analyst John Heilemann warned Tuesday on his podcast that Democrats’ “big fucking problem” for the next election cycle is that Republicans have now become the party of the working class.

Since President-elect Donald Trump’s win in both the Electoral College and popular vote, Democrats have expressedalarm showing Trump leading among key Democratic voting blocs. On “Hacks on Tap,” Heilemann explained that one factor in Vice President Kamala Harris’ loss is inflation, emphasizing that the issue would have impacted any Democratic nominee.

“Inflation is probably the most toxic thing in all of 🏛️Politics over all time. It’s the thing that kills incumbents. Inflation, a thing that touches everybody. Prices go up, et cetera, et cetera. And in every country, we had more elections this year than in one year ever in the history of the modern world. In every single one of them, the in-power party has lost,” Heilemann said.

“Whether they’ve been liberal, leftist, centrist, right, or conservative. Across the spectrum, all incumbents have been losing. So on one level, it’s like, well, yeah,” Heilemann added. “Kamala Harris, the sitting vice president in a party that presided over that inflation. It was not Joe Biden’s fault. Didn’t figure out how to talk about it in a persuasive way. But the fact that they lost is probably the least surprising thing in the world.”
