Republicans are gerrymandering states because they know their agenda is very unpopular heading into 2026. It’s pretty simple—if Democrats expand their base, they will win.

ICYMI: Latino independents are driving Donald Trump’s plunging economic favorability. Democrats have a prime opportunity in this moment to bring in more voters into the base.

We hear a lot about Trump’s cratering approval rating, and yes, that’s good news for Democrats heading into 2026. But, while Trump is not popular, neither is the Democratic Party, and so candidates will have to toe that line carefully if they want to win.

Centrist Democrats are breaking from their party in rhetoric, but voters need to see differentiated votes. It's time to walk the walk of moderation. www.welcomestack.org/p/the-sanity...

This is a graph showing Donald Trump’s plunging favorability on the economy. The driving factor in the fall? Latino independents.

Trump's approval on the economy among Latino Independents has cratered, putting Republican plans to gerrymander border districts in Texas at risk. www.welcomestack.org/p/brawl-at-t...

Republicans need to gerrymander states to win. Democrats need to expand their big tent to win. 2026 is right around the corner, now’s the time for Democrats to bring MORE voters into their coalition.

🚨 Donald Trump’s approval rating is tanking in a key bellwether county, but the moderate Republican’s reputation still makes it a hard race for Democrats in 2026. Learn more, and read why Democrats need to expand their tent.

In a crucial bellwether county, Trump's approval is plummeting. But the Republican incumbent's moderate reputation still makes this race an uphill battle. Democrats need to improve their standing among Independents to win the midterms. open.substack.com/pub/thewelco...

Democrats are trying to expand the Congressional map. Republicans are trying to gerrymander it. It’s that simple. www.welcomestack.org/p/congressio...

ICYMI: We endorsed Jared Golden for re-election. Congressman Golden knows how to win tough races, because he’s done it multiple times before. Let’s get him a fifth term.

Donald Trump’s approval rating on the economy is underwater. Now is the time for Democrats to expand their base, and bring more voters in. www.newsweek.com/donald-trump...

Jared Golden is the only Democrat to win four times in a district Trump won. Let's send him back to Congress for a fifth term. www.welcomestack.org/p/the-jared-...

The path to the House majority runs through the middle. Democrats need to expand our tent, especially as Trump becomes even more unpopular. That’s what we’re fighting for.

Donald Trump’s approval ratings continue to fall. Why? The further he pushes to the right, the more Americans rebuke him. If Democrats win the middle, they will win in 2026. www.nbcnews.com/news/amp/rcn...

ICYMI: Tom Suozzi was one of the only members in 2024 to go on offense and take the issue of immigration head-on instead of pivoting or ignoring it. Let’s make sure he wins again in 2026. www.welcomestack.org/p/the-tom-su...

Republicans are gerrymandering states like Texas because they know the headwinds are against them heading into 2026. This is not a winnable strategy. www.welcomestack.org/p/the-gops-g...

Republicans in swing districts across America are literally afraid to show up at town halls. Why? Because the further Trump pushes to the right, the more unpopular their agenda becomes. If Democrats win the middle, they will win in 2026.

From immigration to the economy, Donald Trump’s approval rating in key issues continues to fall. If Democrats want to win in 2026, they should expand their base. Winning the middle will win the House.

Kristin McDonald Rivet is a winner. She over-performed in 2024. She’s going to win again in 2026.

While Republicans gerrymander races, Democrats are "donormandering" their small dollars, sending precious resources to candidates who aren't in competitive seats. New analysis from Dan Conway. www.welcomestack.org/p/gerrymande...

Kristen McDonald Rivet was the top competitive district over-performer in 2024. We're excited to endorse her to send her back to Congress in 2026. www.welcomestack.org/p/the-kriste...

Starting in 2032, the White House will look like the Senate. That should make Democrats nervous, and force changes fast. www.welcomestack.org/p/896-white-...

With 896 until the first 2028 presidential primary votes are counted, the read of the day says ... Starting in 2032, the White House is just like the Senate The current Democratic coalition is shut out without a ton of luck www.welcomestack.org/p/896-white-...

Moderates are leading the way, even on social media. 👀 www.welcomestack.org/p/899-verbal...

We can’t just identify Democrats who will over perform. We have to identify Republicans that can be beaten. Let’s get it done. www.welcomestack.org/p/905-offens...

Did moderates just dominate social media for a day by putting out a verbal blacklist? Sure seems like it Via @thirdway.bsky.social www.welcomestack.org/p/899-verbal...

Progressives claim their agenda wins elections, but when given the opportunity to prove it, they shy away. www.welcomestack.org/p/watch-what...

Donald Trump’s approval ratings continue to fall which means that Democrats have a real opportunity to take back the House. The best way to do it? Win the middle.

What do Tom Suozzi, Rebecca Cooke, and Janelle Stelson have in common? We endorsed all three, and all three are going to win in 2026.

ICYMI: We endorsed Congressman Tom Suozzi yesterday because he’s a proven winner. He isn’t afraid to take on issues like immigration, and he’s winning because of it.

Tom Suozzi was one of the only members in 2024 to go on offense and take the issue of immigration head-on instead of pivoting or ignoring it. He over performed then. He's going to win again in 2026. We are proud to endorse him today. www.welcomestack.org/p/the-tom-su...

Republicans aren't trying to win over any voters. They are just trying to change districts instead. Democrats now have a unique opportunity to win voters who feel like they do not have a home. www.welcomestack.org/p/congressio...

The best way to stop the chaos out of Washington, D.C. is simple: elect more moderate Democrats in swing districts. From Wisconsin to Pennsylvania, we’re going to get it done.

The recent Congressional Competition Index shows that Democrats are being more aggressive than Republicans, but not aggressive enough. Meanwhile, Republicans are trying to rely on changing the districts, not winning over voters. www.welcomestack.org/p/congressio...

Across the board, Trump’s approval ratings continue to fall. Heading into 2026, this is the best opportunity Democrats have to expand our tent, bring in new voters, and take back the House.

There is a consistent theme among the Democrats who over-perform: they don't fit into a neat ideological box, and they break with their party when they disagree. They are depolarizers — and our party and the country need more of them. www.welcomestack.org/p/the-case-f...

Derrick Van Orden is one of the most extreme Republicans in Congress. He screamed at Senate pages, voted to gut Medicaid, and fights any substantial progress. This cycle, Rebecca Cooke is going to defeat him.

Depolarizing leaders are essential for liberal democracy. They also over-perform the partisan fundamentals, winning key races. We need to elevate the people depolarizing our politics. www.welcomestack.org/p/the-case-f...

Just 1.6% of money raised by the biggest Democratic PACs makes it to candidates. We need a smarter marketplace to retake House in 2026. www.welcomestack.org/p/918-the-mo...

Democrats need 'depolarizing courage,' that meets voters where they are. Leaders like Sarah McBride and Marie Gluesenkamp Perez are showing how it's done. substack.com/home/post/p-...

Screaming into the void isn’t leadership. Voters want courage that’s wise, humble, and connects. Less theater, more guts. Less shadow-boxing, more showing up. The courage gap is real—will Democrats close it? www.welcomestack.org/p/the-courag...

The Republican Party's aggressive gerrymandering efforts reveal their deep concerns about their unpopular healthcare cuts. A confident party doesn't change the rules halfway through the cycle. www.welcomestack.org/p/the-gops-g...

Scott Perry served as the Chair of the House Freedom Caucus. He was the one of the main reasons any progress has been blocked in Congress. This cycle, we can defeat him—Janelle Stelson will defeat him.

Separating what feels good from what wins is always hard. Charlotte Swasey breaks down what wins elections. www.welcomestack.org/p/925-good-t...

We're proud to endorse Marie Glusenkamp Perez for re-election. Marie’s stood up to the far-right and defeated them twice — and she’s prepared to do it again. www.welcomestack.org/p/the-marie-...

Donald Trump’s approval ratings across the board remain extremely low, but at the same time voters trust Republicans to handle those same issues more than Democrats in Congress. It’s up to Democrats to fix this problem and change this trend.

While voters are souring on Trump, that hasn’t yet translated into gains for Democrats. Democrats need candidates who win the middle, not more extremism.

What do Scott Perry and Derrick Van Orden have in common? Both are vulnerable Republicans who will lose at the polls next year. Rebecca Cooke and Janelle Stelson are ready to lead the way for Democrats taking back the House.
