New Democrats Outline 2026 Strategy

Clear policy positions on immigration, housing, and other hot-button issues will help Democrats retake the House majority in 2026, leaders of the New Democrat Coalition told reporters today. The center-left group posited in its “vision” released this week that moderate proposals, contrasted with the personalities they say are overtaking the GOP, will win back swing voters after a dreadful 2024 performance across the party.

“It’s so sad these days that if you’re a Republican and say you support improved legal immigration, you’re going to face a primary,” said Rep. Greg Stanton (D-Ariz.), who will lead New Democrats’ immigration and border security working group. “That’s unsustainable.”

The coalition, which includes most House Democrats, is one of many groups proposing a map for how the party can win back voters who overwhelmingly elected Trump over former Vice President Kamala Harris. New Democrats’ task forces will focus on Economic Growth & Cost of Living; Immigration & Border Security; Housing, Infrastructure, & Transportation; Workforce & Education; Health Care; Rural Revitalization; Environment, Climate, & Clean Energy; Innovation & Technology; and National Security.
