What happened
Democratic Sen. Mark Kelly of Arizona was interviewed on ABC's 'This Week' and faced questions about a poll showing that only 34% of Americans believe Democrats care about people like them. When asked what this meant and how to address it, Kelly deflected and instead talked about his travels across the country, listing states he has visited and events he has attended.
Kelly stated that he has been trying to understand people's challenges in their homes, schools, and communities, and emphasized the need for Democrats to deliver. However, he did not directly address the poll's findings or provide a clear plan to improve the party's perception.
Instead, Kelly pivoted to criticizing President Donald Trump over the conflict in Iran. The exchange was seen as a nonresponse to the original question, and a video of it was posted on social media by the Republican National Committee.
