Unlike Republicans, who currently hold more power, Democrats find themselves on the sidelines. On Wednesday, a group of Democratic moderates convened in Washington, D.C., with hopes of reviving their party’s fortunes. They believe the path to success lies in taking control of messaging, keeping liberal groups at bay, and achieving tangible victories. However, they see the challenge of appeasing their own radicals as a significant hurdle. Republican moderates, on the other…
