WASHINGTON—US Democrats struggling to move on from their bitter election defeat last year will pick a new leader Saturday to take the fight to President Donald Trump and his Republicans. “When we lead with our message, our message of economic opportunity, that’s how we win,” he said during the debate broadcast on CNN. Crisis of confidencePerez also warned that Democrats must reform their party’s presidential primary system, which he said has created “a crisis of confidence” because of its lack of transparency. Trump “stole a Democratic message” by constantly reminding working-class and middle-class voters during the campaign that he was the candidate who listened to their concerns, Ellison said. He has earned support from former presidential candidate Martin O’Malley and Vermont ex-governor Howard Dean, himself a onetime presidential candidate and DNC chair.
