Preparing Democrats for the 2026 campaign: cooperation between progressives and the moderate wing of the Democratic Party will strengthen Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s position

The defeat of Kamala Harris and the Democratic Party in the 2024 elections led party elites to realize the need to renew the party’s leadership.

After several decades of dominance in the internal party discourse of the Clinton-Obama-Biden group, Democrats have begun a trend of replacing these politicians and their protégés with other groups of influence.

The new Democratic leaders will be tasked with rebooting the party and developing new approaches to engaging with voters in the 2026 midterm and 2028 presidential elections.
