There’s a difference between being moderate and being complacent, at least according to Rep. Josh Harder.
“We have to be the party that is the angriest at the status quo,” said Harder, who serves as a vice chair of the centrist New Democrat Coalition.
As one of just 13 House Democrats who won last fall in a district carried by Donald Trump, Harder believes average Americans voted for change and ended up with chaos. The answer isn’t just to return things back to normal, the Californian argued, but to say, “Here’s where the government falls short, and here’s how we need to fix it.”
