One post-primary narrative didn’t hold up: Mamdani didn’t win many Trump voters. Most Trump-leaning voters in NYC’s Democratic primary backed Cuomo—especially in Orthodox areas. The bigger story? Moderates are tuning out, and the Democratic electorate is moving left without them.

🚨 We are honored to endorse @AdamGrayCA for re-election. Rep. Gray is an electoral over-performer who knows what it takes to win over Republican and swing voters in the conservative-leaning districts Welcome prioritizes. Let's make sure he wins again.

Republicans are going to regret passing Donald Trump’s budget bill in 2026. The unpopularity of the bill will catch up to them in the polls.

Elon Musk is going to fail. Here's why:

The Republican budget bill is not the "big, beautiful" bill. It's the big, unpopular bill. If Democrats win over voters upset about this bill, they will win the House.

Four thoughts on Trump's budget bill:. 1. This bill is terrible. 2. Voters need to hear how its bad from credible messengers. 3. We need to win power back by beating Republicans. 4. Candidates launching challenges really need to get support so they can focus on hammering this.

This budget bill is not beautiful. In fact, it's deeply unpopular. It's setting Republicans in swing districts up for failure in November 2026.

In poll after poll the Republican budget bill is underwater. Why? Because this isn't popular policy. The Republican agenda is deeply unpopular. Democrats should poach centrist voters right now ahead of 2026. That's how to win back the House.

Democrats can and should run on this. The approval ratings for Donald Trump's budget bill are horrible. This is prime opportunity to expand the Democratic Party's big tent.

This GOP budget bill, woof. Now, a good guy with a chart can’t stop bad guys who control the federal government. But it can help show just how bad it is, and this from John Arnold deserves attention:

The Republican budget bill is extremely unpopular with Americans across the country. This is proven in poll after poll. Democrats should seize this opportunity and expand their big tent to include those disapproving of the GOP agenda in Washington.

Now is the time for Democrats to expand our big tent and bring more voters into the coalition.

Partisan electoral politics is a zero-sum game. We focus on winning House races in tough districts. So does the NRCC. We have to hold up the winners, and learn from everyone we can - even if the NRCC thinks they make it harder for Democrats to win.

ICYMI: Yesterday, we announced our first endorsements of the 2026 election cycle. If we win these races in 2026, we will be one step closer to winning the House.
