Prominent political analyst Ezra Klein of the New York Times argued in a new essay published on Sunday that Democrats need to adopt a new "spirit" if they want to defeat Trumpism.

Klein argued in the essay that the Democrats have undergone a culture change over the last several elections, one that has left them more room to grow on the political left than it does on the right. He added that this presents an opportunity for the party to grow into areas that are otherwise leaning toward supporting President Donald Trump.

"Think of it this way: If Zohran Mamdani wins the New York mayor’s race running as a democratic socialist in New York City and Rob Sand wins the Iowa governor’s race next year running as a moderate who hates political parties, did the Democratic Party move left or right?" Klein argued. "Neither: It got bigger. It found a way to represent more kinds of people in more kinds of places."

"That is the spirit it needs to embrace," he continued. "Not moderation. Not progressivism. But, in the older political sense of the term, representation."

Klein added that Democrats would benefit from embracing these candidates because they are successfully breaking through to voters on issues such as the cost of living and the economy.

"For all the talk of what the Democratic Party should learn from Sanders and Mamdani, there should be at least as much talk of what they should learn from Manchin or Golden or Marie Gluesenkamp Perez or Sarah McBride," Klein added. "The party should be seeking more, not less, internal disagreement."
