Gonna be a LOT of media on this….
People lining up for the 2028 Nomination ARE tracking back to the Middle to grab back those who sat out agaiunst Trump and Those who switched to Trump and REGRET their mistake…
And?
The Hard left of the Democratic party WILL be placed at arm’s length …..
AGAIN….
Moderate Democrats are having a moment and there is a cadre of consultants and strategists ready to support them.
Ground zero for the party’s great un-awokening was this week’s WelcomeFest, the moderate Democrats’ Coachella. There, hundreds of centrist elected officials, candidates and operatives gathered to commiserate over their 2024 losses and their party’s penchant for purity tests. Panels on Wednesday featured Slotkin, Reps. Jared Golden (D-Maine) and Marie Gluesenkamp Perez (D-Wash.), described as “legends of the moderate community,” and included a presentation by center-left data guru David Shor, who has urged Democrats to shed toxic positions like “defund the police.”
Adam Frisch, the former congressional candidate and director of electoral programs at Welcome PAC, said his party is “out of touch culturally with a lot of people.”
“I think a lot of people are realizing, whether you’re running for the House, the Senate, or the presidential, we better start getting on track with what I call the pro-normal party coalition,” Frisch said. “You need to focus on normal stuff, and normal stuff is economic opportunity and prosperity, not necessarily micro-social issues.”….

Newsom for months has also muted his tone on immigration issues, avoiding using the word “sanctuary” to describe a state law that limits police cooperation with federal immigration authorities even as he defends the legality of the policy. The governor is proposing steep cuts to a free health care program for undocumented immigrants, which comes as California faces a $12 billion budget deficit. In recent days, however, he joined a chorus of California Democrats criticizing Trump administration immigration efforts in his state.
Moore, who recently trekked to South Carolina, vetoed legislation that would launch a study of reparations for the descendants of slaves from the Democratic-controlled legislature. Moore urged Democrats not get bogged down by bureaucratic malaise and pointed to the Republican Party as the reason why.
“Donald Trump doesn’t need a study to dismantle democracy. Donald Trump doesn’t need a study to use the Constitution like it’s a suggestion box,” he told a packed dinner of party power players. “Donald Trump doesn’t need a white paper to start arbitrary trade wars that will raise the cost of virtually everything in our lives,” Moore said.
There are some notable exceptions to the party’s border pivot to the center. Govs. Andy Beshear of Kentucky, JB Pritzker of Illinois and Tim Walz of Minnesota haven’t shied away from social issues….
….
“Walz, [Sen. Chris] Murphy, Pritzker, Beshear — they’re not going around talking about it all the time, but they’re also not running away from their values,” said one adviser to a potential 2028 candidate granted anonymity to discuss the issue candidly. “They’re in the both-and lane.”…

As Emanuel sees it, his party has a long way to go to over-correct for what he paints as the excesses of the last few years.
“The core crux over the years of President [Joe] Biden’s tenure is the party on a whole set of cultural issues looked like they were off on a set of tangential issues,” Emanuel said.
