DNC boss crows that ‘no one gives a sh*t about’ cultural issues anymore

November 6, 2025 | | Print Article

The chair of the Democratic National Committee believes this week’s election results send a clear message to Republicans about their “old playbook.”

DNC Chair Ken Martin weighed in Tuesday during CNN’s Election Night coverage, claiming “no one gives a sh-t” about the cultural issues the GOP has been focused on. Rather. voters are more interested in “kitchen table issues,” which is why some races delivered for Democrats, according to Martin.

He spoke with CNN’s Jake Tapper as Democrats swept major races in New York, New Jersey, and Virginia.

“The Democratic Party is back,” Martin said.

“And the message to Republicans right now is you better figure it out, because the old playbook that you have, running on all these cultural issues, no one gives a sh-t about that,” he claimed.

“What they care about right now is they care about the kitchen table issues. They care about the fact that they can’t afford their rent, they can’t afford their groceries. They’re worried about health care. They’re worried about how they’re going to actually get ahead in life. And they want someone to stand up and fight,” Martin continued.

Tapper pointed out that many of the issues Martin named were the reason President Donald Trump was returned to the White House by voters last November.

“You’re right. And guess what?” Martin responded. “They did vote for him on that. And he lied to them. He hasn’t done one thing since he was inaugurated to actually deliver on those promises.”

“So there’s no doubt that that anti-Trump sentiment is huge in this country right now,” Martin continued, claiming the president’s approval rating is “at an all-time low.”

He also contended that the winning Democratic candidates, New York City Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani, New Jersey Gov.-elect Mikie Sherrill, and Virginia Gov.-elect Abigail Spangberger, had “positive” messages and all “ran for something.”

“They gave the American voters, in their states, they gave them a value proposition,” he told the CNN panel.
