Jen Psaki worries Democrats are being drowned out by Trump press coverage, suggests 'maybe we're all at fault'
MS NOW host Jen Psaki worried on Wednesday that the Democratic Party was having a hard time breaking through in the current media environment, wondering if she was partly to blame because President Donald Trump often dominates the news cycle, even on her own show.Psaki spoke to former ABC News journalist Terry Moran, who said Democrats didn't have the lead one would expect ahead of November's midterm elections, as Trump's approval ratings remain low.Psaki said enthusiasm was high for Democrats, but that the party had a hard time presenting themselves as something more than anti-Trump."It has taken some time for a lot of the leading Democratic voices to move from just anti-Trump to more than anti-Trump, right? To, ‘We’re not for Trump, but here’s what we’re offering,’" she said.JOHN FETTERMAN RIPS DEMOCRATS FOR RUNNING CAMPAIGNS ON 'F--- TRUMP' INSTEAD OF CONSTRUCTIVE MESSAGING"I would also say, to take a little bit of the blame off of leading Democrats, it’s very hard to break through with that stuff," Psaki added.

"And I realize I have a platform, you have a platform — maybe we’re all at fault for this — but because the things Trump is doing every day are so crazy, it is hard for Democrats to break through with, ‘Here’s my plan for covering children under the age of six with additional health care benefits. Here’s my plan for giving more assistance to pre-K.'"The MS NOW host said it was hard to decide whom she was going to book outside the Trump-focused news reaction, and said, "Maybe that's a mistake.""So, I think there’s a lot of factors at play here, but a big one is I don’t think the public knows enough about the Democrats’ plans for making their lives better, as much as they don’t like Trump," she said.TUNING OUT: WHY MANY AMERICANS ARE SICK OF THE NEWS – ESPECIALLY TRUMP NEWSMoran agreed with Psaki, and questioned how journalists should approach the issue."And, you know, he is chaos and dominates every second of every day as much as he can," he said.
