Hunter Biden said the Democratic Party should rethink its political strategy after a slate of progressive and socialist candidates backed by New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani (D) won their primary races in New York this week.
The son of former President Biden said the string of victories showed voters are more receptive to candidates with more definitive ideological positions than establishment Democrats.
"The middle is not a strategy," he said in a post on the social platform X detailing his takeaways from Tuesday's election night. "Voters reached past the establishment to grab someone who actually believes something."
Hunter Biden said candidates who spoke directly about core issues including affordability, housing security and the war in Gaza outperformed more moderate rivals. He said focusing on cost of living is "everything."
"Conviction beats caution. The candidates who said hard things about rent, about who pays for what, about Gaza, they won. The triangulators lost," Biden said.
