After the Democratic loss in the
2024 United States presidential election, news outlets like
Politico and
The New York Times reported on a four-page memo, dated November 11, addressed to "Discouraged Democrats", and written by former Obama administration, fundraiser and venture capitalist official Seth London. In the memo, London attributed the loss to
identity politics, and suggested to build a faction within the party to support "charismatic, moderate officeholders" and advance market-friendly moderation, with observers seeing it as an attempt to revive
Al From's DLC. Majority Democrats was formed in July 2025 by a group of Democratic politicians in the aftermath of the election of
Donald Trump. The group consists of largely moderate Democrats in federal, state, and local office, including
Ruben Gallego,
Elissa Slotkin,
Abigail Spanberger,
Angie Craig,
Brendan Boyle,
Gabe Vasquez,
George T. Whitesides,
Marie Gluesenkamp Perez,
Maggie Goodlander,
Aftab Pureval,
Ritchie Torres, and
James Talarico. Approximately 30 politicians joined the effort at its launch. The group is advised by multiple Democratic communications officials, including
Lis Smith and Matt Corridoni. Madison McEwans of
Minnesota Reformer described it as "a group of centrists aiming to remake the party's image in the wake of Donald Trump's election". According to the same source, Majority Fund, reportedly close to Majority Democrats, donated more than $100,000 to the
Minnesota 2026 Senate election candidate
Angie Craig in 2025. == References ==
