Conservative radio host Dana Loesch said on Fox Business Tuesday that there’s a reason why blue-collar workers left the Democratic Party.
During an appearance on “The Bottom Line,” Loesch said that for years, the Democratic Party counted blue-collar workers among its staunchest supporters—until the 2016 election cycle. As these workers shifted their allegiance away from former presidential candidate Hillary Clinton, Loesch said that Democrats turned on them.
“Democrats were happy to have them until the moment they turned up their noses at Hillary Clinton because they didn’t like what she was offering. And then, in a split second, Democrats began maligning the character of this voting bloc, this blue collar worker, hard working class, middle-class voting bloc,” Loesch said. “They began running them down, impugning their characters, calling them racists and bigots because they didn’t vote for the old white lady who fell down in Manhattan and lost a Tory Burch slipper.”

Loesch questioned the Democratic Party‘s future electoral strategy, especially as they attempt to distance themselves from billionaire influencers.
“The idea that they’re going to be the party of the working class now, I love this sound bite that you all played coming into this, because the gentleman speaking was saying we’re going to separate billionaires from the Democrat Party,” Loesch said. “Well, if they do that, how are they going to run anybody going up into 2028? Because their heir apparent is a billionaire, Cuomo.”
Loesch also said she sees a double standard.
“I noticed that they didn’t object with George Soros, with Ted Turner, with Warren Buffett, with Newsome, with Pelosi, with the Gettys, with the Hearsts, all of these people that have come together to form the modern Democrat Party. The working class left because decades and generations of Democrat policies have failed Americans,” Loesch added.
House Majority PAC (HMP) is now reportedly investing $50 million to regain the support of working class voters, who recently favored Republican candidates. This initiative persists despite the Democratic Party’s continued embrace of left-wing policies that these voters rejected in previous elections.
HMP launched the “Win Them Back Fund” after Trump secured most non-college-educated voters and those earning under $50,000 across all racial groups. Meanwhile, former Vice President Kamala Harris won support from college-educated voters and individuals making over $100,000 annually.
The super PAC plans to challenge 14 incumbent House Republicans in key regions it sees as potential wins in the midterms. HMP specifically targets newly elected Republicans Nick Begich of Alaska, Gabe Evans of Colorado, and Ryan Mackenzie and Rob Bresnahan of Pennsylvania, who defeated Democratic incumbents.
