Rhode Island Democratic State Senator Leonidas Raptakis expressed concerns that the party’s move to the left has alienated moderate voters. In a recent interview, he highlighted rising issues such as border security and economic instability, linking these factors to a shift in voter sentiment towards former President Trump. Raptakis criticized Vice President Kamala Harris for her lack of clarity on key legislation and suggested that President Biden’s earlier exit from the presidential race could have opened doors for new Democratic leadership. He emphasized the need for the party to reconnect with the priorities of American families.
