With the largest bloc of Democrats in the House, the New Democrat Coalition is putting forward a strategy to win back voters and boost the party ahead of 2026.

The group will send around a memo Wednesday morning laying out its vision of how it plans to tackle major policy issues this Congress as President Donald Trump and the Republican trifecta pushes forward their agenda. The memo, exclusively obtained by NOTUS ahead of its release, lays out the three pillars: economic growth and opportunity, healthy and safe communities and strong national security and defense.

It’s all part of a bigger plan for the group, largely made up of moderate Democrats, to reach voters in key battleground districts that are essential to Democrats winning back the House majority.
