MSNBC Hosts Talk About Democrats’ Next Big Step In Returning From The Wilderness: Picking A DNC Chair
Msnbc Live will participate in hosting an event later today, which is usually “inside the baseball”: the final forum for the candidates to lead National Democratic Committee.
This event – which was held alongside the Institute of Politics and Public Service in Georgetown, was broadcast on YouTube channel for the network starting at 3 pm Easter – one of the first major steps for the party after crushing losses in the presidential elections.
Psaki geneMSNBC Inside, will participate in hosting Simon Sanders Townsand and Jonathan KiphartAnd Luke Russrt, Creative Director of Msnbc live.
“It is something that viewers are deeply interested in. While people feel those who did not support them or vote in favor of the current president, he feels helpless, or they feel that they do not know how to get out of the wilderness, this is one of the things that will contribute.”
The vote will be on Saturday, with a large field of candidates competing for this position. The most prominent candidates for the chair are Ken Martin, President of Minnesota DFL; Bin Wikler, Head of the Wisconsin Democratic Party; Fayez Shaker, former president of Bernie Sanders presidential campaign; Martin Omali, former governor of Maryland.
Townsund said that although the race may be “inside the baseball”, it “has great external effects on the direction of the Democratic Party.”
She said: “At the end of the day, the DNC chair has a great impact.” “In the absence of your party in the White House, they lead and make decisions, and how they lead things.”
The post -election period witnessed a dramatic decrease in the MSNBC audience, as many Democrats seized an environment as Donald Trump tasted his victory in the elections. Since then, in recent weeks, the network has witnessed signs of an audience, while Rachel Mado has returned to a weekly schedule in the first 100 days.
Kibahart, host Saturday/Sunday offerHe said: “I passed through this periodic track several times. The decline in the classifications after the elections is similar to the chapters. Only, they must take a break.
The forum is not part of a plan to restore the audience, but the latest in invading the network in live events. In September, MSNBC hosted Msnbc live: democracy 2024It happened for a day in September at the Brooklyn Academy of Music, which includes two network hosts and about 4000 participants. Such personal gatherings are not completely new-Fox News’s competitor has done the same in the past. But enhancing communication with viewers with personal gatherings may be especially important as MSNBC is preparing to withdraw from COMCAST, in a treatment that is expected to be completed later this year.
Townsand said that the turnout at the September event – the attendees bought tickets – an indication of the participation of MSNBC scenes. “While some people are like,” I don’t know. I want to see Netflix, ‘they pay attention and care for this. I don’t think this brings them back. “People are already present, but it is about meeting them in their place,” she said.
The search for the spirit of Democrats and the waving fingers about what happened in 2024 has managed the series, from Joe Biden’s decision to run for his re -election, to the party’s inability to match the relationship of Donald Trump with voters on social media and podcasts, to reducing the power of the immigration authority as even a higher issue It is too late.
The extent of the party’s problems in the last poll from Qunnipiac this week was strengthened that 31 % of those surveyed have a positive opinion of the Democratic Party, and 57 % have an unsuccessful opinion. Republicans have 43 % favorable and 45 % unsuccessful.
“I don’t think it is a correspondent problem,” Kibahart said. “I think part of this represents a problem with wrong information – wrong information in the sense, do voters get the information they need?”
He said that the party should reach a plan to address it. “If there is a candidate he says,” Here is my plan for the economy, here is my plan for health care, and here is my plan for all these things. However, half of the country continues to say, “Well, I don’t know what they represent. I don’t know what their plan is. Well, the problem then becomes, “What are you doing to get around their information episodes and their information nuts, so that they understand that this is not just a one -way conversation, where all your fears are tackled somehow by the candidate from the Democratic Party? And I think this is A big challenge to the next chair, but also for all people up and down in the DNC driving structure.
Psaki said: “One of my fast food from before until November is that there was not enough fear in terms of how a wide range of democrats are running, and what are the platforms they were ready to communicate with. Also, it must be. There is more thinking about meeting people where they are, which is something you use a lot in communications, and it may be excessive, but it is true for candidates. ”
“Everyone will see it,” she said, she said. “It is no longer the case.”
“This is one of the things that I care about – creative, outside the box, ideas, fear of how to engage them and those who will communicate with them, and take an innovative look at how they are going to spend money. It is difficult to collect donations now. How will they do that?”
Democrats have long embraced financial contributions to Hollywood and the support and consent of celebrities – and the Republicans rushed to use this interest to attack their competitors as the elite party.
“I do not rub the elbows with billionaires or the Hollywood elite. I rub the elbows with workers in the union halls, in the sit -in lines, in the civil rights marches and in the protests.” The line rubs some in the entertainment industry in a wrong way.
However, the following DNC chair may be a little walking from a tight rope, with immediate demands to collect donations from the party’s traditional ATMs, but also to reformulate the party in the public mentality as one dedicated to the working class.
“I think people will say, it is a disaster. There is no clear leader. Psaki said:“ I see him completely different. ” Things like a DNC race, but also local elections. “
Kiphardt pointed out that the end of this week will be among 448 members who have specific interests and goals that may be different from what other voters, with a focus on party mechanisms and structures.
Townsund said the recent elections “really lit for me is that there is a lack of a real understanding of the party and protocols and how they work. This has led to a number of individuals within the Democratic Party, especially members, about how they carry their work.”
Psaki recalled another period as the party was in a “existential” moment: 2005, when George W. Bush won a little difference and it seemed as if the Republican Party was achieving the dreams of the majority.
Psaki was the Deputy Secretary of the John Kerry’s presidential campaign and recalls that “$ 23 in my back account … then every democracy was looking for a job.”
In the DNC race at the time, Howard Dean was chosen as the next party president. In the middle of the period, the Democrats directed the Republican Party and obtained control of Congress, and two years later, Barack Obama was elected to the White House.
“I think it’s a good example,” Psaki said. “I lived so. We all did in different ways, because it means somewhat that the world is not always as you expect.”
