Former Clinton campaign manager affirms that the Democrats lack leaders, messages and agenda
Patti Solis Doyle, former advisor to Clinton and Obama, describes the Democratic Party as depressing due to its lack of leaders
Patti Solis Doyle, who once managed Hillary Clinton's campaign in 2008, maintains that the Democrats currently lack leaders, messages and agenda, which leaves them very vulnerable to the Republicans.
During his appearance on the podcast “Next Up with Mark Halperin,” the Chicago advisor stated that after the defeat in the November presidential elections, the Democratic Party is experiencing a rather complicated period.
Right now we are without a leader, without a message, without an agenda, without alternative ideas to the president and the Republicans. So, to say the least, I am worried, she expressed.
Solis Doyle considers it even more complex that towards the end of his term as President Joe Biden the Democrats turned their backs on him by forcing him to give up his aspirations for reelection, because now, when he should be leading the stage of restructuring his party, he lacks weight.
If your party gets to the White House, its leader is the president. If it doesn't get to the White House, its leader is the last, you know, president. So, right now, for us, that's Joe Biden, but he's completely… you know, completely off the radar. He's not really the leader of the party, she emphasized.
Adopting a more concise term, the woman who also once advised former President Barack Hussein Obama II, described the situation of the Democrats as depressing.
It sounds really depressing what's happening in the party. In general, when you lose, the losing party gets attacked and criticized, and they are the stupidest people on the planet. That's what's happening with the Democrats right now. They are being attacked from all sides, she explained.
The comments from the 59-year-old advisor come days after David Hogg announced that he would not run for reelection as vice chairman of the Democratic National Committee (DNC). Following a similar path, Randi Weingarten, president of the American Federation of Teachers (AFT), as well as Lee Saunders, president of the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees (AFSCME), refused to be re-elected as at-large members of the DNC.
