Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) warned Democrats on Monday against moderating their economic agenda to cater to the demands of wealthy donors ahead of the 2026 and 2028 election cycles.
Instead, Warren said during a speech at the National Press Club, Democrats should embrace “full-throated, economic populist ideas” and reject the idea that the Democratic party lost in 2024 because its platform was “too progressive.”
The high-powered folks of Wall Street, Silicon Valley and Washington, according to Warren, “want the Democratic Party to respond to the 2024 losses by watering down our economic agenda and sucking up to the rich and powerful, claiming that a less progressive Democratic Party will win more elections.”
