Bill Clinton reveals why he thinks Democrats couldn’t beat Trump appeared on www.newsweek.com by Joe Edwards Joe Edwards.
What’s New
Former President Bill Clinton has issued an assessment on why President-elect Donald Trump and the Republicans were able to claim victory over the incumbent Democratic Party at last month’s election.
Speaking with British former politician Rory Stewart and political strategist Alastair Campbell on an episode of the pair’s podcast—The Rest is Politics-Leading, Clinton suggested that complacency and a loss of trust in the establishment contributed to Trump’s win.
Newsweek has contacted Clinton for further comment via his representatives outside of standard working hours, as well as the Democratic National Committee via email.

Why It Matters
Trump beat out his rival, Democratic Vice President Kamala Harris, in the race for the White House last month, and will replace sitting President Joe Biden in January.
The Republican Party won both the Senate and the House of Representatives.
What to Know
Responding to a question from co-host Campbell on Trump’s success at the election Clinton said:
“I think [progressives] got used to winning elections and we forgot that every one of them had to be hard fought and that it wasn’t just some sort of automatic thing.
He added that in the U.S. “we have overestimated the influence of pollsters and political consultants and underestimated the importance of connections—maintaining connections with voters.”
The former president said: “That’s why I think there is very little concern that Trump seems to be appointing people of, shall we say limited experience and highly targeted toward his message.
“I think it’s because people have lost faith in establishments everywhere,” Clinton added.
“What was once disabling behaviour is no longer such a problem as people were more worried about the world crumbling around them without some certainty of where they’re going to be in the new world,” Clinton went on to say.
“That is a recipe for what I would call negative populism—you may not win in this new deal but at least they’ll lose.”
What Happens Next
Following his election victory, Donald Trump will be inaugurated as president for the second time and his term will begin in January 2025.
Since claiming the win, the Republican has been busy naming his picks for high-level government positions, including billionaire Elon Musk spearheading a Department of Government Efficiency, and former independent candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. as health secretary.
