National Democrats are flocking to Pennsylvania in an early offensive to reclaim the US House in 2026

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

63% : "But I want my vision of economic patriotism -- which is to say we have a vision of what the future economy is gonna look like -- I want that to be central to the conversation and then we'll see what makes sense.
59% : For Khanna, a progressive lawmaker and an ally of Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., who views himself as one of the Democratic Party's next generation of leaders, it's a bit of a homecoming event.
57% : "We need to have the technology, the robotics, the AI from my district, combined with the industrial know-how of people in Pennsylvania to finance modern steel, to finance biotechnology, to finance new industry," he said. Democrats, Khanna said, need to show they have a vision for the economic future and contrast it with Trump's.
54% : I had teachers and people who believed in me, and I feel like this Republican budget, by taking away funding for education, taking away student loans, taking away funding for Medicaid, is really depriving the next generation of the chances I had, and I wanted to go to my hometown, Bucks County, and say that.
54% : " Bucks County has long been a coveted bellwether for the key swing state -- voting for former President Joe Biden in 2020 and then flipping to Trump, narrowly, last year.
52% : " 'Economic patriotism' The economy largely won Trump the 2024 election, and as it has sagged and sputtered in the first three months of his term, Democrats see it as the best issue to reclaim voters who drifted to Trump. Khanna's pitch is "economic patriotism," a concept he will also emphasize during a rally Saturday in the Lehigh Valley alongside people affected by the Mack Truck plant layoffs there.
40% : "I told him I was coming, and I told him I respect my relationship with him, and I'm really there to talk about why I believe this budget is bad and wrong for Bucks." Deluzio, in an interview after his town halls with Sanders, said that as public frustration with some of Trump's policies rises, it's critical Democrats go on the offensive.
