The Rise of the Populist Moderates
Democrats like Pat Ryan and Ruben Gallego are populists taking on corporate power—and winning.
Almost twelve months after their drubbing in the 2024 election, Democrats are still having a tired argument about the party’s future.
The New York Times editorial board offered its answer in October, with an article titled “The Partisans Are Wrong: Moving to the Center Is the Way to Win.”
The story profiled a group of mostly Democratic elected officials characterized as moderates, including:
- Marcy Kaptur in Ohio
- Pat Ryan in New York
- Jared Golden in Maine
- Elissa Slotkin in Michigan
- Tammy Baldwin in Wisconsin
- Ruben Gallego in Arizona
- Jacky Rosen in Nevada
- Vicente Gonzalez in Texas
Citing a post-election analysis, it found that these “moderate” Democrats outperformed Kamala Harris by 2.8 points.
