The Met Gala Is Why Regular People Feel Left Behind

Chris Cuomo uses the Met Gala as a jumping off point for a bigger argument about the midterms and the widening gap between those in power and the people they claim to represent. With Trump fumbling affordability, health care, and a war in Iran with no clear exit, Cuomo argues the opportunity to fight for working people has been handed to anyone willing to pick it up — and events like the Met Gala are proof that nobody in power seems ready to do it. His case isn't anti-rich or anti-fashion. It's that showing up in expensive outfits to celebrate among the elite — at an event sponsored by someone whose workers you claim to be fighting for — sends exactly the wrong signal at exactly the wrong moment. You can't bash the elitism and be the elitism at the same time. Cuomo also pushes back on the instinct to demonize the rich as a political strategy, arguing the real winning message is about fixing a system that doesn't make everyone play by the same rules — and reconnecting with the many instead of performing for the few.
