PROOF: Working-Class Voters Don’t Like Kamala

(TheConservativeTimes.org) – Kamala Harris’ campaign for the 2024 election is facing a significant hurdle as she struggles to connect with working-class voters in the crucial Midwest, a group critical to winning key “blue-wall” states.

Harris’ inability to resonate with this key demographic could spell trouble for Democrats in battleground states, potentially paving the way for a Trump victory.

The International Brotherhood of Teamsters, a traditionally Democrat-supporting union, has decided not to endorse a presidential candidate for the first time in decades.

This unprecedented move signals a growing disconnect between Harris and the working-class base that Democrats have long relied upon.

In addition, Teamsters President Sean O’Brien’s appearance at the Republican National Convention (RNC) and the union’s donation to Republican Senator Josh Hawley have raised eyebrows about the union’s political leanings.

Internal polling revealed a troubling trend for the Harris campaign. A significant portion of Teamsters members are backing Trump despite some local chapters and caucuses supporting Harris.

Moreover, the Democrat’s struggle to connect with non-college-educated voters is becoming increasingly apparent.

Recent polls showed that Harris trailed by 12 points among this demographic, a stark decline from Biden’s 8-point loss in 2020.

While Harris has made some progress in closing the “trust gap” on economic issues with the overall electorate, this improvement is primarily among professional-class voters rather than the working class.

Her focus on the “care economy” instead of industrial policies, which were central to Biden’s campaign, may be contributing to this disconnect.

Democrats in the Midwest are sounding the alarm over Harris’ shift away from industrial policy rhetoric.

This departure from Biden’s successful strategy could prove costly in winning over working-class voters who are crucial to securing victory in November.

Meanwhile, the Harris campaign touts her role in creating manufacturing jobs and passing significant legislation, but this message is not consistently emphasized.

This lack of focus on key accomplishments may be hampering her ability to resonate with working-class voters who prioritize economic issues.

As the Democrat Party experiences a shift from a working-class coalition to one based on more educated voters, Harris faces the challenge of bridging this growing divide.

Her inability to effectively communicate with and appeal to working-class Americans could prove to be a significant liability in the upcoming election.

With the 2024 election looming, Harris and her team must urgently address these pressing concerns, as a failure to reconnect with working-class voters in the Midwest could spell disaster for the Democrats and potentially hand victory to Trump and his America First agenda.
