New Democrat Coalition

The New Democrat Coalition is a caucus in the House of Representatives of the United States Congress made up of Democrats, primarily liberals and centrists, who take a pro-business stance and a liberal-to-moderate approach to fiscal matters. Most members hold socially liberal views.

The caucus has been described as being center to center-left.

As of April 15, 2024, the New Democrat Coalition is composed of 99 members (including 1 non-voting member), making it the largest House Democrat ideological caucus, followed by the Congressional Progressive Caucus.

Overview
The New Democrat Coalition is a caucus within the House of Representatives founded in 1997 by Representatives Cal Dooley, Jim Moran, and Tim Roemer.

The Coalition supported "Third Way" policies during the presidency of Bill Clinton. The Coalition consists of liberal, moderate, and centrist Democrats. After the sharp decline of the Blue Dog Coalition in the 2010s, the New Democrat Coalition gained some of the Blue Dog Coalition's former clout by also having members from swing districts.

The group is known as fiscally moderate and pro-business. For example, the New Democrat Coalition supports free trade and the high-tech sector. The New Democrat Coalition also supports immigration reform.

Ideologically, it is positioned between the House Progressive Caucus and the Blue Dog Coalition. The Coalition has been described as both socially liberal and fiscally moderate-to-conservative.
