Congressman Pat Ryan

That is the mood, certainly in my district, especially in any purple or competitive district. You talk to members of Congress, House members, which is where I just, you know, by virtue of where I'm sitting, tend to have the most conversations within my party is like, regardless of what like traditional caucus or group you belong to, progressive or moderate or blue dog.

The common theme is an economic populist set of policies and rhetoric that is just grounded in actually listening to voters, understanding that, like in my community, for example, wages for 20 years have been flat and costs are just piling up on everybody. Neither party has actually solved that. And Trump was kind of the first one to actually channel that and get that and speak to that.

Well, by the way, I'm not saying I'm certainly right here. I'm just at a moment where I think we have to be willing to take risk and, you know, kind of say what we're hearing and then we see where it goes. So I'm not saying I have this all figured out by any means. But what I think the moment we're at as a party is I actually think exciting.

where I'm a big believer in, yes, you have formal official titles, but leadership to me is not about that. Good leadership is about by power of example or by power of taking action and seeing people respond to it, you can set direction for... any organization or group.

And there's a lot of folks in the Democratic Party right now tend to be relatively younger, although that's a low bar, and newer, and many of whom were mobilized by Trump's election in the first place. uh, term by the way, myself included to come into politics, who I think have a different theory of change and are willing to be out there and kind of pushing.

And I think that's healthy at a moment, like we're in, and we just, sometimes leadership is creating formal leaders, creating a space for that innovation and nudging and pushing. is what's needed.
