Growing polarization makes volatility among swing voters the most important story of modern politics.

Despite what polarization hawks in the media want you to believe, competition is still possible. https://t.co/JDuvjLMCXl

Honored to have spoken at this years Hargeysa International Book Fair alongside such distinguished guests. We talked about great power competition, regional geopolitics. Always great to be back in one of my favorite places in the world, Somaliland - I am a lucky man! #somaliland

"The Welcome Party and Welcome PAC — organizations committed to creating a “big tent” Democratic Party — are modeling a new centrist factionalism…"

Our top House targets of 2022 were @KenCalvert & @laurenboebert.

These seats were rated “likely R” in the not too distant past, but @WillRollinsCA & @AdamForColorado proved the polarization hawks wrong and showed that competition is possible.

Let’s finish the job in 2024!

As the GOP majority continues to flirt with a sham Biden impeachment, it's important to remember that it didn't have to be this way.

As we told the @nytimes, “Democrats could have played in another dozen districts” in 2022.

We could have held the House. https://t.co/obrcsXPVTO

.@JoeBiden is moving to the middle on climate, immigration, and crime — and for good reason.

This shift aligns with the independent voters who will choose whether he keeps his job in 2024.

Today's @playbookdc elevates the swing voters who will decide 2024.

Chief among them: persuadable anti-Trump Republicans and independents.

Biden won these critical voters in 2020 and is moving to recapture the center in his re-election campaign. #WinTheMiddle

“There are a lot of people who do split their tickets. Yes, fewer people than before, but enough to make a difference in more elections than people think.”

If your strategy is not delivering resounding wins against a radicalized, authoritarian movement, it probably needs rethinking.

We need a new game plan to save democracy.

Only 44,000 votes in three states (AZ, GA, and WI) separated Joe Biden and Donald Trump from an electoral college tie in 2020.

Across the globe and throughout history, the research is clear: autocrats win when the opposition splinters. #NoLabelsElectsTrump

Moderate Dem @AdamForColorado won the middle in CO-03 by differentiating from the Democratic Party's toxic cable news caricature and welcoming in independents and moderate Republicans.

He came within 546 votes of flipping a "Safe" GOP seat.

“We’re trying to highlight members of Congress like @SpanbergerVA07, @GregLandsman, and @ShontelMBrown. There's so many incredible centrist leaders on the Democratic side that don't get the same airtime as the Squad.”

"Young voters do not view the world through the lens of partisan affinity…

In recent cycles, a majority of young people have voted for Democrats, but this voting bloc isn’t particularly hot on the Democratic Party and remains very much up for grabs." https://t.co/xY5Xv3Iboc

✨ICYMI✨

Our deep-dive on young voters was recently featured in @danpfeiffer's "Stuff You Should Consume": https://t.co/lduoQGMuwP

As polarization rises at the fringes, the fact that we can still move the needle to put the shrinking but still significant crop of seats in the middle into play becomes all the more important.

Ron DeSantis wants to "Make America Florida" in 2024.

But voters do not.

Our March poll found that voters believe their own communities are safer than Florida by more than 2 to 1.

That margin jumps to 3 to 1 among independents.

Florida is not a blueprint for America.

“We want to create a bigger tent for the Democratic Party, to remind people that there are other Democrats who are moderate or conservative in their values.”

Mayoral races in deep-blue Philadelphia, Chicago, and New York City tell the same story as nonpartisan research:

Just 1 in 5 Democratic voters are in the Bernie-AOC wing of the party.

Check out our new fact sheet: https://t.co/zUad7seSjP

[Welcome @TheWelcomeTeam]

To win national elections, Democrats must win the middle.

Big tent or bust.
