    Opinion | The Democratic Party Is Having an ‘Identity Crisis’

    At some point, though, both Biden and Trump will pass from the scene. And then some of the tensions in the Democratic Party that have been suppressed by their collision will re-emerge. One will be whether a party that represents those who like America as it is can also represent those who’ve been left out of this era of American prosperity. “As long as I am in public service, I will resist the Democratic Party becoming the party of normalcy,” Khanna told me. “We need to be the party of transformational change. A lot of Americans are frustrated with the system, and that anger is justified.”

    The other tension will be what it means for the party that believes itself to represent the working class to be losing working-class voters. “It’s hard to say you’re the party of lower-income working families when they are rapidly leaving the ranks of your movement,” Murphy said.

    Perhaps because Musk is a white South African.

    Re @Alma: Louisiana politics was defined by the struggle between pro- and anti-Long factions for at least four decades after ole Huey ate a bullet down in Baton Rouge. Likewise I’d expect Trumpism and the counter to it will define the next couple of cycles after 2024. Neither party is yet prepared to imagine what comes next.

    Lower income voters went Democratic in 2020, 2022 and I'll bet they will in 2024. What Murphy means is WHITE working class voters. That's what our entire national political dialogue means by "working class voters." I'm sure it's a drag to see racism and other various prejudices cut into his vote totals, but that's what's happening.
