Katie Couric on Democrats Losing Working-Class Voters

Former NBC 'Today' show host Katie Couric warned that Democrats have 'kind of lost' the working-class voters and urged the party to reconnect with this critical voting bloc. Couric emphasized on the 'Hysteria' podcast that Democrats need to address working-class concerns more effectively to regain their trust before the upcoming elections. She noted that the perception of Democrats as condescending liberal elites has become entrenched, partly due to comments like Hillary Clinton's 'basket of deplorables' remark. Couric called for a stronger connection with working-class voters and suggested that Vice President Kamala Harris should engage directly with 'regular Joes' to demonstrate genuine concern for their issues. Her warning highlights a significant shift in political dynamics, with Republicans increasingly being seen as more attuned to working-class 'dinner table issues'.
