Ken Martin, candidate for DNC chair, discusses the implications of Trump's actions and policies, emphasizing the need for Democrats to build a long-term strategy for success.
As he sees it, the answer to both defeating Trump and making Democrats more competitive down the ballot and across the country is overhauling the Democratic messaging apparatus, expanding campaign infrastructure, and thinking more long term about strategy. “We have to essentially build to where things will be with a much longer arc than just one election cycle,” says Martin, who has led the Minnesota Democratic-Farmer-Labor Party since 2011.
But it is still definitely a swing state, and you can see that in the results: It’s one of the closest nonbattleground presidential margins in the country, and that’s been true for some time. All that said, I think what I’m most proud of is not only winning statewide, but of course winning those trifectas and the legislation that was passed, particularly the last two years in our Democratic trifecta.
