LEESBURG, Virginia — Democrats’ plan to retake the House in 2024 is building on the electoral success of defending abortion access and championing a broader agenda of defending freedoms.
During their annual conference in Leesburg, Virginia, this week, House Democrats outlined their messaging strategy, expressing confidence in their ability to seize control of the lower chamber as Republican leaders struggle to unify all corners of their conference. Democrats hope to seize on that intraparty tension to declare themselves the party of stability and freedom.
Democratic lawmakers met for a series of closed-door briefings throughout the week to discuss messaging and campaign strategy on a slew of key topics such as housing, childcare, and climate. But party leaders made clear what they considered their secret weapon — reproductive rights.
“There’s no more pressing issue than the fight for reproductive freedom,” Democratic Whip Katherine Clark (D-MA) said. “Wherever we travel across the country, whoever we talk to, abortion is top of mind for our constituents and for voters.”
