Garamendi – a member of the Congressional Progressive Caucus – said the Axios poll, which claimed the Democratic Party is "becoming the party of upscale voters concerned more about issues like gun control and abortion rights," represents a "point in time."

"A shift occurs over a long period of time," he said. "In the years I've been in political life, and in public life, I've watched the shift occur in opposite directions at least three to four times. The result of each one of those shifts as it moved back and forth ... turned out to be minor and the result of each of the shifts is the Democrats turned out stronger after each shift."
