“Had the president gotten out sooner, there may have been other candidates in the race,” Pelosi said. “The anticipation was that, if the president were to step aside, that there would be an open primary.”

How Joe Biden Got His Revenge on the Democratic Party

First, it is evident that the 2008 Barack Obama Democratic Party intersectional coalition has died. It is not that the coalition is wounded or endangered; it is that it is dead.

Trump made historic inroads with Hispanic voters, Black voters, young voters and other demographic subgroups that have been vital to the Democrats since 2008. Trump won the nation's single most Hispanic county — 97% Hispanic Starr County, Texas — by 16%.

Queens County, New York, famously one of the most ethnically and racially diverse counties in the country, moved over 20 points toward Trump from his 2020 performance.

Overall, Trump won just under half the national Hispanic vote, and he made historic inroads with Black men. Voters under the age of 35, such a core Democratic constituency in the not-so-distant past, are now a swing voting bloc.

Obamaism is dead.

This is a seismic shift in the American political landscape, and it's not clear where Democrats go from here. They can scream "Nazi!" or "fascist!" until their lungs give out, but the reality is that their policies on a host of issues — from race to gender to immigration to crime to the economy — have alienated large swaths of modern America.

Democrats seem inclined to scapegoat the senile president of the United States — as if Uncle Joe is somehow to blame for not bowing out of the race weeks, or even months, sooner. This is pure cope.

The problem, Democrats, is not that Biden stayed in too long. Nor is the problem, as the insufferable Sunny Hostin laughably suggested on The View, rampant sexism or misogyny among the American electorate.

The problem is that the Democratic Party is no longer a mainstream political organization.
