Former presidential candidate Andrew Yang warned that the Democratic Party was becoming the party of the 'coastal urban elites' in the eyes of the working class American, insisting the country would 'get worse' if it didn't work to represent more in the country.
The wealthy New York businessman voiced his concern while appearing on a CNN panel on Wednesday with Don Lemon, sharing an insight to some of the responses he received while on the campaign trail.
'I would say, "Hey! I'm running for president!" to a truck driver, retail worker, waitress in a diner,' Yang described. 'And they would say, "What party?" And I'd say "Democrat" and they would flinch like I said something really negative or I had just turned another color or something like that.'

WNU Editor: Former presidential candidate Andrew Yang is 100% correct. He sees the trend lines, and he knows that the base of voters that Democrats have always relied on are drifting away. The near loss of the House of Representatives to the Republicans this week confirms his observations. But I think it is too late. This is going to be a terrible two years to govern the U.S.. The pandemic is still raging. Many people are suffering. A number of American cities are facing insolvency because of their debt and pension obligations. A number of state governments are also in the same predicament. Business are closing at a record rate. The unrest that is out there is very real, and working people want results. But is President Biden the man who can deliver this? Andrew Yang certainly has his doubts. And he is deeply worried that if they do not do this right, it is going to be a disaster for the Democrat's electorally in two years, and the loss of the Presidency in four.
