I spent a little time this morning looking over voter registration data over the course of the election in various states, looking for signs in retrospect of a Trump win. Looking at PA, something jumps out that I think is instructive as to the path forward.
Much of the conversation around the future of the D emparty/the need to fix the brand with "working class" voters centers around white voters. But something different emerges in the new voter reg data that speaks to the need for Dems to invest in organizing communities of color.
Look at the party registration comparisons in PA, first among voters of color, then among white voters. 
In '20, new regs of color in PA were +50 Dem. This year they were +30 Dem. In 2022, a good year for Dems in PA, you see the Dem share dropped, while the GOP share held steady. And then in 2020 the Dem share dropped even further, while the GOP share increased substantially.
Now look at new white regs over the same period. They were +18 R in 2020, and +16 R in 2024. Yes, there was erosion, and yes, Ds need to fix this too. But the biggest erosion in the Dem brand has been among voters of color, and the path forward conversations must reflect this.
Cue @PatrickRuffini to remind us that he already wrote a book about this.
