Jen Psaki, host of MS NOW, expressed concerns that the Democratic Party is having a hard time breaking through in the current media environment. She suggested that the constant coverage of President Donald Trump’s actions may be partly to blame.
Trump Dominates the News Cycle
Psaki spoke to former ABC News journalist Terry Moran, who noted that Democrats don’t have the lead one would expect ahead of November’s midterm elections, despite Trump’s low approval ratings. Psaki agreed, stating that enthusiasm is high for Democrats, but the party has struggled to present themselves as more than just anti-Trump.
Psaki acknowledged that it’s hard to decide whom to book on her show outside of Trump-focused news reaction, and wondered if that might be a mistake. She believes that the public doesn’t know enough about the Democrats’ plans for making their lives better, which is a significant factor in their struggle to break through.
