LEESBURG, Va. — With a chance to retake the House just months away, Democrats know they need to offer a proactive agenda.
“It’s not just enough to be against Donald Trump,” Rep. Maxwell Frost said. “But we have our own agenda that’s actually going to work for our constituents and for working people in this country. To transform this economy, to work for them, not work for the billionaires, not work for the corporations that for years and years and years have exploited us.”
The affordability message served as the political fulcrum of House Democrats’ annual three-day “Issues Conference” retreat at a resort in Northern Virginia. But when reporters pressed lawmakers for the specifics of their legislative road map should they retake the majority in 2027, Democrats said they are still working out the details.
