The Democrats still need a cohesive message. (from the New Yorker) The Party has failed to find both a singular message and messenger, Jon Allsop argues in his latest column. Some prominent figures have stood out in their opposition to Trump—the governors J. B. Pritzker, in Illinois, and Gavin Newsom, in California, and New York City’s Comptroller, Brad Lander, who has become a fierce advocate for immigrants. But for the most part, Allsop writes, “Democratic leaders are not meeting this dangerous moment with the focus it requires, and, if the Party as a whole is still widely perceived as feckless, that is in no small part self-inflicted.”
