Democrats Launch 'Project 2029' Policy Plan For 2028 Election
The Democrats are starting a project called 'Project 2029' to prepare for the 2028 presidential election.
It's like a plan for what the party wants to do.
They're taking inspiration from a similar plan made by conservatives.
Centrists are writing the policies on topics such as the economy and education, with publications planned to put the policies in the public sphere.
Some people worry that the project doesn't include enough different ideas and voices from the left.
The goal is to help the party unify and have a strong plan for the future.
Democrats are creating 'Project 2029,' a policy blueprint for the 2028 presidential nominee.
The project is modeled after the Heritage Foundation's 'Project 2025,' a conservative initiative.
It is being organized by Andrei Cherny, and will be published quarterly then compiled into a book.
Centrist figures like Neera Tanden and Jake Sullivan are involved in drafting policies.
Progressives have criticized the project for lacking diverse ideological representation.
