Pro-Sanders group rebranding into ‘pragmatic progressives’

WASHINGTON (AP) — The progressive advocacy group Our Revolution is rebranding now that Bernie Sanders is no longer the undisputed leader of the left. It’s trying to promote a more pragmatic progressivism in the era of President Joe Biden. Biden won the 2020 Democratic nomination by offering more centrist alternatives to much of Sanders’ agenda. Since then, progressive candidates have faced electoral disappointments and contended with anxiety from moderate Democrats, who worry the party’s leftward shift could cost them control of Congress in midterm elections. Despite Our Revolution’s changed emphasis, it remains engaged in progressive politics. Its Ohio chapter has contacted 190,000 voters before next week’s Democratic primary to replace Rep. Marcia Fudge.
