Rising star Anderson Clayton on how Dems did so well in North Carolina, despite voters there picking Trump for president.

While Democrats are playing the blame game on how Kamala Harris lost the election, Clayton says, “I don’t think anybody’s a lost cause. I actually think after this election cycle, we should be looking at every single person as somebody we’re talking to.”

But it’s not just talking to voters that’s key for Democrats moving forward. “We need to run young people,” Clayton explains. She continues, “They’re 60% more likely to vote for a young person on the ballot regardless of what political party that they’re affiliated with. And I think that we have to look at young people as a voting bloc that wants to see themselves represented.”
