Keisha Lance Bottoms discusses electoral strategy for Democrats

With race. But it's about how am I going to put food on my table, gas in my car, how am I going to pay my rent? Those were things that people were talking about. Does that feel materially different? Because I think what, what she was saying there is that like we've reached a moment perhaps in America where that becomes the most important thing. What can this person do for me? And then secondarily to that is maybe who they are. No, I don't know if it's in this moment or if we'll see a shift, you know, politically we see these shifts. I remember when President Obama was elected and there were these conversations about a post racial America right up until there weren't. So, you know, I don't know, but I know when people are struggling financially, economically, when they don't have health care, when they've got these real issues that are staring them in the face every single day, I don't know that they care if it's a black woman or blue man who's coming to help them. They just want and need help and leadership. Who's going to make a difference? You know, the south was long written off by Democrats in the last sort of, I don't know, since I've been thinking about politics. But look at what happened in South Carolina, you know, where a Democrat won a Senate seat for the first time since 1998. Mississippi, while we're talking, a Democrat is ahead in a very tight race. Yeah. What do you think needs to happen so that this isn't just a blip in a bad year for Republicans, but an enduring shift for Democrats? Because, you know, South Carolina's kingmaker, Representative Jim Clyburn, told Politico that the south is gaining electoral votes, power is shifting, and Democrats need to figure out how to keep this blue and not just have it be a kind of wave that washes them back out to sea. We better keep listening to the people and delivering for the people, being upfront with the people about what we can do, what we've tried to do, what we've fallen short on. And if we don't listen and if we don't deliver, then shame on all of us. Well, I'd love to know what that means specifically in terms of delivering, because you.
