“We know that less than a quarter of Democratic voters are in the far-left faction of the party… When it comes to Election Day, voters are still much more pragmatic and that’s why we saw the win with [Cherelle] Parker [in Philadelphia].”

The Liberal Patriot

“Contrary to the dominant media narrative, young people are a mainstream cohort, have nuanced perspectives on major issues, and should not be taken for granted by Democrats.”

FOX 5 DC

“Voters don’t necessarily know what Democrats are doing to change and affect their daily lives, so when we are able to get things done… that’s what people want most.”

Semafor

“AOC has literally said Democrats are ‘too big of a tent.’ We’re trying to highlight members of Congress like Abigail Spanberger, and Greg Landsman, and Shontel Brown. There's so many incredible centrist leaders on the Democratic side that don't necessarily get the same airtime as the Squad.”

Scripps News

“We're seeing that when Democrats are on strong things like crime and the economy, they tend to perform better.”

The Well

“Now, The Welcome Party, a new nonprofit trying to reassert the primacy of the center in the Democratic Party, has taken another look at the race, one it believes was eminently winnable — had party leaders in the state not had blinders on.”

Politico Morning Score

“It comes from PFP Research and was commissioned by The Welcome Party, a Democratic group that is pushing for a moderate candidate. In the poll, GOP state Sen. Jack Martins leads Democratic county legislator Josh Lafazan 43 percent to 36 percent.”

Newsweek

“Given the vast implications of unleashing a prolific nonsense machine ahead of a major election, it's unsurprising that ChatGPT's creator, OpenAI, waited until after the 2022 midterms to release it. But the genie is now out of the bottle, and generative AI will be everywhere by the next election.”

The Dispatch

“‘There are at least a dozen districts similar to Frisch’s where Democrats conceded seats in 2022,’ Welcome PAC co-founder Lauren Harper told The Dispatch. ‘If Democrats want to win back the House majority in 2024, they’ll need more Adam Frisches competing to win in vulnerable red seats across the country.’”

The Bulwark

“Too many Democrats believe they have no agency in shaping the opinion of voters in the middle. At the heart of the Fox News Fallacy is a false powerlessness, combined with disdain for voters in the middle who may actually care how Democrats describe themselves.”

An Honorable Profession

“Their latest effort, the WelcomePAC, supports candidates in ‘democracy districts’ — areas where Democrats can be competitive if they identify compelling candidates and communicate effectively with these voters.”

The Columbus Dispatch

“Sherrod Brown is an independent Democrat — certainly not some New York or California liberal. Ohio voters recognize this, and it’s likely why many GOP voters have split their tickets to support Brown in the past. In 2018, for example, Brown won his race for Senate on the same ticket that Mike DeWine won for governor.”

The Well

“We can thank South Carolina voters (and South Carolina Democratic Rep. Jim Clyburn!) for ending Sanders’ and Warren’s campaigns and, in choosing Joe Biden, paving the way for a pragmatic choice who could actually defeat Donald Trump.”

The New York Times

“I asked Liam Kerr, co-founder of the centrist Welcome PAC, for his views on state of the intraparty debate. He emailed back: ‘Far-left political science deniers refuse to accept the fact that moderate candidates still outperform those at the extremes…’”

Beyond Politics

“Democrats have been congratulating themselves for a strong showing in the 2022 midterms. But when it comes to the House, did they actually fumble the ball at the goal line?”

The New York Times

“Reflecting on the results nationwide, ‘it kind of feels like Democrats are celebrating in the locker room because we lost by four,’ said Liam Kerr, a co-founder of Welcome PAC, a nascent group that aims to become the Justice Democrats of the political center.”

The Bulwark

“The 2022 red wave was bigger than expected—but it took a big dump when it hit moderate Democrats focused on persuasion who were backed up by credible Republican Never Trump messengers.”

Commonwealth Magazine

“The Democrats’ chance of winning the House this year were harmed by unnecessary primary challenges, several led by prominent US Sen. Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts.”
