Political News and Conservative Analysis About Congress, the President, and the Federal Government
One position that is up for grabs is the chair of a large caucus of pragmatic-minded Democrats who have a history of Republican outreach on policy solutions.The New Democrat Coalition, or New Dems, is a center-left caucus made up of 100 members of various ideologies within the Democratic Party. The body is often one of the driving forces behind pushing major legislation across the finish line, particularly under the leadership of Rep. Annie Kuster .
This experience, Davids said, has prepared her to represent frontliners and swing district Democrats both in the chamber and on the campaign trail — something at which Kuster, in her time as leader, excelled. Since the 2022 midterms when Republicans took control of the House, the legislative agenda has been plagued by GOP infighting and hindered by a razor-thin majority. Speaker Mike Johnson’s three-seat majority often required him throughout the last Congress to rely on Democratic voters and push back against his right flank, angry at him for requiring liberal votes to push through appropriations and foreign aid.
Rep. Brad Schneider, D-Ill., speaks during a press conference surrounded by anti-gun violence advocates, many of whom have a connection to the recent Highland Park shooting, at the Capitol in Washington on Wednesday, July 20, 2022. Schneider arrived on Capitol Hill in 2012, and he said the New Democrat Coalition has been “my home” ever since.
