There’s been something of a boom recently in Democrats trying to define what the party is, or should be about – think Sen. Cory Booker’s long floor speech, Sen. Chris Van Hollen’s trip to El Salvador, Gov. JB Pritzker’s fiery speech in New Hampshire, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s team-up tour with Sen. Bernie Sanders (technically an independent when he’s not running for president), former Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg courting the “manosphere,” etc.
But one voice – one frustrated yet hopeful voice – that caught my ear is Rep. Tom Suozzi from New York’s 3rd District, who says (not in so many words) that Democrats have to clean up their act and get back to basics. I caught up with Suozzi this week on the sidelines of a Decision Points breakfast, part of a series of regular events where we encourage a lively discussion among elected officials and professionals from various fields, as well as think-tankers.
