Broad Coalition and Candidates Are The Only Way To Beat Trump and The Right

WASHINGTON—Third Way released the following statement from President Jon Cowan:

"Conor Lamb’s stunning upset crystalizes the Democratic formula for winning in the age of Trump. If Democrats run candidates that fit their districts and demonstrate independence from purity tests, they’ll win in November. The country is now one seat closer to removing Paul Ryan as Speaker and making the House a check on Donald Trump, not a rubber stamp. The lesson: Democrats must build a broad electoral coalition with a diverse group of candidates to defeat Trump and right wing populism."
