Members of the New Democrat Coalition are making the battleground state of Arizona their first stop to discuss immigration and border security as part of efforts to reach voters ahead of the midterms, NOTUS has learned.
The stop in Phoenix on Wednesday is slated to be the first of several the Democratic group is making in the coming weeks to address major issues and figure out how to win back voters ahead of 2026. The New Democrat Coalition, a moderate caucus, is the largest in the House Democratic caucus at more than 100 members. It will play a key role in deciding Democrats’ strategy to win the House in the midterms, which is crucial if they want a check on the Trump administration in Washington.
Members are hoping this tour helps them identify how to reach voters in key battleground districts and on key issues, and immigration has long been seen as a weak issue for Democrats.
