Senator Elissa Slotkin candidly addressed the current state of the Democratic Party after President Trump's 2024 election win. In contrast to Rep. Hakeem Jeffries' optimistic claims about Democrats' momentum, Slotkin expressed that the party has been on the defensive. She underscored the importance of being transparent about the issues facing the party and how new voices are calling for significant change. Slotkin highlighted that not acknowledging challenges hinders improvement, indicating a need for new strategies and leadership in light of recent electoral struggles.
I think you can't get better until you admit you have a problem, she said. And for me, that's one of the things that I think some of the new voices in the party have really been agitating about, right?
I don't think it's a secret that Democrats have been on their heels since Trump won the election, right? I don't think that's, you know, something hidden.
