Brian Stryker, a partner at Impact Research, writes in the New York Times that the Democratic Party is losing its most important and historically loyal base: working-class Americans. “Many are abandoning the party for the Republicans because they think Democrats are not committed enough to fighting for their livelihood and way of life,” he says. Given the public’s anxieties about inflation and the economy in general, “this concern might be even more important now.”

Rep. Pete Aguilar of California is a focused and driven public servant with his heart in the right place. Just ask his colleagues, including Rep. Katie Porter, who says that Aguilar doesn’t have the “‘it’s my turn’ mentality that can sometimes be present in Congress. He really earns his turn.” Indeed, Pete isn’t interested in making the leap from the House to the Senate or even to any executive office. He says, “I’m happy to be someone who’s committed to the House and wants to be here. I want to make a difference.”

Their Institute of Politics discussion—which can be viewed on the Institute’s YouTube channel—looks forward at what the midterms have in store by reflecting on last week’s results for both parties.
