ICYMI — Politico Playbook: "That's How You Win a Majority"

Washington, D.C. — Five days out from Election Day, NewDem Action Fund Chair Greg Stanton (AZ-04) and New Democrat Coalition Chair Brad Schneider (IL-10) sat down with Dasha Burns and the Politico Playbook Podcast to make the case that the New Dem candidates will deliver a hard-fought Democratic majority by winning in the toughest Trump districts on their commonsense, cost-focused message.

Chair Stanton on how we win the majority:

"On November 4th, the number one political story in America is not going to be about what happened in Democratic primaries … What we focus in on is winning in the toughest seats in the United States of America, including many that Trump won. That's how you build a majority. That's how you win a majority, and that's the biggest story on November 4."

Chair Schneider on what comes next:

"We should stop talking about ideology and start talking about results and making life better for the American people. Put your damn oar in the water and let's start rowing forward."
