Centrist Democrats launch new pledge: ‘We are capitalist, not socialist’

Centrist Democrats in the House are pushing for a new pledge emphasizing their commitment to capitalist principles over socialism, aiming to attract more moderate voters and signal a break from traditional Democratic policies. This initiative reflects a broader strategy within the party to appeal to a wider electorate by focusing on moderate policies that blend fiscal conservatism with social progressivism. The move underscores a potential shift in the Democratic Party's identity, as these members seek to differentiate themselves from more progressive factions within the party.
