“Two months before the election I picked up on a mega-trend—a historic, acute and powerful anxiety among middle -class voters,” Israel told the crowd, according to a person in the room.
Israel, who represents a suburban district on Long Island and chaired the DCCC for two tough cycles, said nearly two-thirds of registered voters said they felt neither party could solve their problems and decided not to bother showing up to the polls.
“Whatever party taps into this middle class anxiety will be in the majority for a long time,” he told the group of donors.
