🚨NEW: Jasmine Crockett tries to describe Dems’ midterm “playbook” on the fly — it doesn’t go well🚨

“We have to make sure we do education.”

**Reporter:** What is the Democrat playbook for the midterms? Is it blaming Trump or is it talking about kitchen table issues?

**Jasmine Crockett:** You act like I got the playbook! Listen, we… I mean, the winning playbook, I think, overall, is just communication and education. I think that you can talk about kitchen table issues all you want to, but it comes down to actually having a rapport and making sure that people actually understand what it is that you’re talking about. I don’t think that we failed to talk about kitchen table issues. But basically, Trump was simple and lied, right? Like he said, “Hey, the price of eggs are high, I’ma reduce it on day one.” It was a very simple message; it was a lie. After they went up through the roof… Let’s be clear, and honestly, they may be down for the second, but again, having people be educated about what it is that the FDA does and talking about things such as the bird flu and talking about if you have less birds because they are sick, then that’s less eggs, but the demand is still the same, then the price goes up. Like, we have to make sure we do education. One of the other issues that I think that we had is that people didn’t understand that the global pandemic was the cause of our inflation. They were like, “Oh, everything’s high,” and they just said, “Well, that’s the person that’s in office,” instead of actually having this global conversation. Or one of the things that he was honest about is that he actually was going to institute tariffs. The problem was people didn’t understand exactly what a tariff was because he was able to say, “You know what? And it’s going to be those foreign countries that pay for the tariffs.” So everybody’s like, “Alright, cool!” But that’s not the case. And so I think that our win is in the education. I think it is why I place an emphasis on making sure that we can do things such as our town halls, why I place an emphasis on coming in and having an actual dialogue with my seniors, because I do want to make sure that they understand what’s going on. And I want to break it down into the simplest terms that I can because some of this can be really, really complicated. But I think our win is in our education and our constant communication.
