They need a new generation of leaders with fresh faces and bold ideas, unbought by corporate Super Pacs and billionaire donors
If the Democratic party wants to win back power in 2028, then look no further than the 2026 election cycle as the most important moment to focus on.
It is not three years from now when working class voters will decide, like they did in November, whether they still believe the Democratic party isn’t fighting for their interests – it’s the next 12 months. And to make it abundantly clear, it is not going to be the same 257 Democrats that are in Congress today that will deliver Democrats their majority. That’s why a robust, active, and exciting Democratic primary process in districts across the country is a necessary prerequisite to Democrats winning in 2026, let alone 2028.
