Anthony Scaramucci Warns Democrats to Stop Calling 80 Million Trump Voters 'Undesirables' as Midterms Put Their Political Strategy Back In Focus

SkyBridge Capital founder Anthony Scaramucci urged Democrats to engage with President Donald Trump’s supporters rather than dismiss them, arguing that rebuilding relationships with voters is essential to bridging political divisions.

Scaramucci Urges Democrats to Reconnect With Trump Voters

On Sunday, Scaramucci wrote on X, "Democrats free advice: Stop writing off 80 million people who voted for Trump."

He criticized Democrats who describe Trump voters as "racists, undesirables, or deplorable."

"Don’t do that!! You have to get those people back into the social contract and go talk to them," Scaramucci said.

He pointed to Sen. Jon Ossoff (D-Ga.) and Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro (D) as Democrats who understand the importance of connecting with voters.

"Here’s what I’ve learned after decades of watching politicians up close. You can feel when someone loves people and wants to serve them, and you can feel when someone is self-dealing and wants to take care of themselves," he said.

Scaramucci described Shapiro as "the first kind" of politician and Trump as "the latter."

Trump Faces Midterm Challenges

Last week, Trump urged Sen. John Fetterman (D-Pa.) to join the Republican Party, but Fetterman rejected the idea, saying he would be a "terrible Republican."

He said he would reconsider only if Democrats became "the anti-Israel party."

Trump’s approval rating remained at 32%, while Hispanic Americans’ approval fell to 24%.

Registered voters favored Democrats over Republicans 44% to 37% ahead of November’s midterms, with the cost of living remaining their top concern.

House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) predicted Democrats would move to impeach Trump within days if they won control of the House. Democratic leaders said impeachment was neither ruled out nor a top priority.

Midterm Election Tensions Escalate

On Sunday, a federal judge temporarily blocked taxpayer-funded political ads featuring Trump ahead of November’s midterms following lawsuits from Common Cause, a union and the Democratic National Committee.

Previously, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton urged Americans to prepare for the midterms after the administration declined to invite international election observers, drawing criticism from monitoring groups.

Trump attacked Democrats in a Labor Day post, predicting Republicans would win the midterms and declaring, "We’re going to win the Midterms, BIG, and SAVE AMERICA!"
