The 2024 election was closer than many people realize — and a lot closer than President Donald Trump claims.

Democrats have no real message, most notably on the seemingly ripe issue of pardoning people who assaulted police on Jan. 6, 2021 .

The party hasn’t had an authoritative, dominant leader for a long time.

So who could fill this void?.

The former transportation secretary is as gifted a surrogate as Democrats have and is studied at speaking to Trump voters (often on Fox News ) If Democrats internalize the idea that they need someone who can take their message to all corners of the country, but also be comfortable with pretty much any subject matter, he makes a lot of sense.
