Charlamagne, Andrew Schulz cast doubt on Dems’ odds of regaining power in 2028

Radio host Charlamagne Tha God and comedian Andrew Schulz on Monday cast doubt about the Democrats’ chances of regaining power in the 2028 election.

Some have suggested that Democrats currently lack a strong leader and the party has received backlash for its behavior during President Donald Trump’s Tuesday congressional address as well as its recent messaging. When Charlamagne said on “The Breakfast Club” that he anticipates Americans choosing a typical conservative Republican as president in 2028 due to the Democrats’ current state of “disarray,” Schulz said that is a possibility.

“I don’t think Democrats are going to win so easily in 2028,” Charlamagne said. “I think because the Democrats are in such disarray, America will say, ‘You know what, just give me a sensible Republican. Just give me a traditional conservative. Like, give me a Nikki Haley, just somebody, just a regular conservative. I can deal with that.’ I think that’s what’s gonna happen.”

“That could definitely happen,” Schulz responded.

The comedian then explained what he thinks the Democrats must do to reclaim control of the government and what he believes they are doing wrong.

“There just has to be something like radical and disruptive on the Democrat side. And I think that they’re all concerned,” he said. “They’re playing this like prevent defense and they’re really concerned about like ostracizing a group, like, ‘If I say this, will women be upset? If I say this, will black people be upset? If I say this, will trans be upset?’ And it’s actually like a harder position to be in to be a Democrat. You’re the party of progress. You have to push shit forward.”

“Conservatives are actually trying to pull shit back. It’s a way easier position to be in to be like, ‘Alright, we went too far forward.’ But I think what Democrats need to do is just start listening to everyday working-class people,” he continued. “Like I think Democrats are too stuck in the Ivy League. There’s too much like pretentious finger-wagging. That’s not what everyday Americans are and you need to get the working class back immediately.”

Schulz similarly told podcast host Joe Rogan on “The Joe Rogan Experience” Thursday that Democrats will keep losing elections if they do not cease talking “down” to Americans. The comedian had interviewed Trump on his “Flagrant” podcast in October and told Rogan that his impression of the president was that he was “an acute listener,” asserting he feels that Democrats lack this key trait.

“It doesn’t seem like it when you see him on the news and shit, but he’s like an acute listener. Like, he listens to what people are saying, and he listens, more importantly, [to] what they’re feeling, and he can tap into those feelings,” Schulz told Rogan. “And I think that’s what people who have had a lot of success in politics were able to do. [Former President] Barack [Obama] did it. [Former President] Bill Clinton did it.”

Trump has also promoted policies that the American public widely supports, including banning biological males from female sports, deporting illegal immigrants and reducing government waste. Moreover, the Democratic Party’s approval rating plummeted close to an all-time low of 31% among registered voters, according to Quinnipiac University polling released on Jan. 29.
