Al From: Democrats Need to Fight for Control of Their Party | Hot Takes with Al From

Al From helped engineer one of the biggest transformations in modern Democratic Party history. As founder of the Democratic Leadership Council, he helped build the New Democrat movement that eventually propelled Bill Clinton to the White House.

Now From sees another major ideological fight brewing.

Abdul El-Sayed’s victory in Michigan, he argues, should be a wake-up call for center-left Democrats who have spent years concentrating on defeating Republicans while Democratic Socialists focused on winning Democratic primaries.

So what does the center-left actually stand for? And does today’s Democratic establishment have the political courage to fight for it?

Al From breaks down the growing battle over the Democratic Party’s identity—and explains what his own fight to remake the party decades ago can teach Democrats today.
