During a segment on NPR’s “All Things Considered,” Democratic Representative Marcy Kaptur from Ohio emphasized the urgent need for her party to develop a comprehensive economic strategy, particularly focusing on regions experiencing economic decline.
Drawing attention to the motivations behind Trump’s electoral success, Kaptur pointed out that his campaign slogan resonated with voters in struggling communities. “They heard President Trump say, Make America Great Again. That was something they want to do, and they know where they live isn’t. They’ve seen factories close. So, we need to keep our eyes laser beam focused on how do we expand opportunity,” she explained.
This past Monday democrat approval ratings continued to crater to new record lows and democrats lost 300,000 registered voters last month alone.

NPR’s Barbara Sprunt highlighted Kaptur’s criticism of her party’s communication strategy regarding economic growth plans. The conversation then turned to Kaptur’s personal philosophy on the relationship between economics and political outcomes.
Elaborating on this point, Kaptur stated, “I have different mottos I live by, and one of them is, economics is not destiny, but it is 85% of it. And the Democrats better shape up and put together a plan for progress, starting in the places that have fallen behind where people are voting for change simply because the economy is not working for them.”
