“‘We don’t listen enough; we tell people what’s good for them,’ scolded Senator Chris Murphy on X. ‘Listen to poor and rural people, men in crisis. Don’t decide for them.’ … Kamala Harris absolutely listened to working-class voters. She heard their frustrations about high prices; developed a set of policies designed to improve the affordability of groceries, housing, and health care; and centered them in her speeches and ads. Working-class voters, however, didn’t listen to her, nor what Donald Trump had to say about prices.” (11/12/24)
