Democratic strategist Lindy Li, who fundraised for Vice President Kamala Harris‘ presidential bid, said during a Saturday appearance on Fox & Friends Weekend that the country is set to experience a “new era of prosperity” during President-elect Donald Trump‘s second term.

Li, who is on the Democratic National Committee‘s (DNC) finance committee and who has been critical of her party since Harris’ election loss calling it a “$1 billion disaster,” told Fox News host Kevin Corke that the Democratic Party “has the stench of loser written all over [it].”

She added: “I feel like the Democrats are going to be consigned to the wilderness for at least the next four to eight years.” Trump, who previously served one term as president, will be term-limited at the end of his upcoming tenure, leaving the White House open for a new race.

Newsweek has reached out to the DNC press team for comment via email on Sunday morning.

Li also touched on technology leaders, specifically Mark Zuckerberg of Meta and Jeff Bezos of Amazon and The Washington Post, and their rapport with the president-elect.

“Jeff Bezos is probably thanking his lucky stars that he withheld that endorsement, and they’re [tech leaders] doing everything they can now to continue the détente,” she told Corke.

The Washington Post broke with the paper’s recent precedent and did not endorse any candidate in the 2024 presidential election.

Several tech giants, including Zuckerberg, Bezos, and Sam Altman of OpenAI, have donated to Trump’s inaugural fund. Meta, confirmed by Zuckerberg, contributed $1 million. Altman and Bezos are both reportedly planning to donate $1 million each to the fund, the Wall Street Journal reported. Bezos is also expected to visit Trump at Mar-a-Lago next week.

When Corke asked about this notion of tech leaders “kissing the ring,” in reference to Trump, and what might come of it, Li said, “They’re going to solidify the relationship between the business world and President Trump.”

She then turned to the “ailing” economy and said, “People are dying for a change, so I think we’re about to embark on an entirely new era of prosperity, I certainly hope so.”

“You can just feel it, even in the last couple weeks Americans are celebrating,” adding that “the momentum is just tremendous,” for Trump’s second term.

Earlier this month, Li broke with her party when defending Trump’s secretary of defense pick, former Fox News host Pete Hegseth.

“I’ve had personal interactions with—because I’ve been on Fox & Friends—I’ve met Pete, he’s my fellow Princetonian. I actually think he’s a pretty good guy,” Li said during her December 6 appearance on NewsNation’s Morning in America.

Hegseth’s nomination to lead the Department of Defense (DOD) has been controversial, with some lawmakers questioning his perceived lack of experience and raising concerns about sexual assault allegations and reports of excess drinking.

Hegseth has denied the allegations. Like other Cabinet nominees, he will need to be confirmed by a majority vote in the Senate.
