Politico Senior Columnist Analyzes Causes Behind Election Results

Jonathan Martin
Jonathan Martin, politics bureau chief and senior political columnist for Politico, tells the CalChamber Board of Directors on December 13 that the November election results, including the return of President-Elect Donald Trump and resurgence of Republican candidates across the country, is evidence that class is a much bigger driver of 21st century voter behavior than race, ancestry or ethnicity. To gain supporters, he says, the Democratic Party needs to change to appeal to blue collar voters or risk being out of power for decades to come.
