Jesse Watters Details How Democrats Paved the Way for Trump’s White House Return [WATCH]

Fox News host Jesse Watters stated Monday that Democratic Party policies over recent years have set the stage for President Donald Trump’s return to the White House, arguing that his presidency represents a direct reaction to what many voters view as unpopular Democratic leadership.

Speaking during a segment on Fox News’ The Five, Watters said, “The Democrats set the conditions for Donald Trump: unchecked migration, unchecked globalism, unchecked discrimination, unchecked regulation. So he comes in as a reaction to kids’ genitalia being operated on, $20 million to Iraqi Sesame Street, censorship, weaponization. Trump is the backlash.”

The comments come amid continued debate over the future of the Democratic Party as the 2028 presidential race begins to take shape.

Watters pointed to data showing President Trump’s enduring popularity on core policy issues such as immigration and trade, asserting that Democrats’ decisions over the last decade have fueled the conservative shift among American voters.

Referencing Newton’s third law, Watters explained, “Every action has an equal and opposite reaction, and it happens with politics too. FDR came in as a reaction to the Great Depression, unchecked speculation on Wall Street and these ruthless industrialists that were just hammering the working class. He came in and went way, way, way, way to the other side. Same thing with Trump.”

Watters’ comments followed analysis from CNN Chief Data Analyst Harry Enten, who on Saturday said the U.S. is on track for net negative migration—something the country has not seen in over five decades.

Enten also credited President Trump as the most influential figure on tariff policy in the 21st century, citing his impact on reshaping the country’s approach to trade and manufacturing.

Under the Biden-Harris administration, the country experienced record levels of inflation, increased implementation of diversity, equity, and inclusion programs, and a historic rise in illegal border crossings.

Despite the Democratic Party’s focus on cultural and social issues, polling has consistently shown that voters’ top concerns heading into the 2024 election cycle aligned closely with Trump’s campaign agenda: border security, economic stability, and regulation reform.

“So instead of fighting it like a dying insurgency, Democrats need to pause and think, ‘Why did we have such an unpopular agenda that created such a ferocious backlash?’” Watters said.

“And maybe come up with a different agenda that’s more popular next time that doesn’t create such a backlash.”

Recent polling supports the notion that the Democratic Party is struggling with voter support.

A Wall Street Journal poll released July 25 found that 63% of voters now have an unfavorable view of the Democratic Party, compared to just 33% who view it favorably.

Similar results were echoed in separate surveys conducted by CNN and Gallup.

Further fueling uncertainty about the party’s future leadership, Kamala Harris announced last week that she will not pursue a bid for governor of California in 2026.

Harris cited a nationwide book tour for her upcoming memoir, which reflects on her short-lived 2020 presidential run.

According to multiple reports, Democratic Party officials have privately ruled out her return as a national contender in future presidential races.

As the Democratic Party faces mounting challenges, speculation continues over who will lead the party into 2028.

In the meantime, President Trump’s reelection and continued influence appear to be gaining momentum amid public discontent with his opposition’s agenda.
